if there is even just one blackhole, wouldnt it just keep on consuming matter and eventually consume everything?
In: Planetary Science
For the same reason the the stars and galaxies they’re born from don’t.
Black holes don’t just arbitrarily suck everything in from any distance. They still obey normal gravity.
The only difference between black holes and other objects is size. Boack holes are incredibly compact for their mass. So when you get really close to them, things can get weird.
But further away, from the perspective of gravity, there’s no difference between a black hole or a star of the same mass.
