Default Re: Theoretical Physics [OT thread]

Hate to tell you, but black holes do emit stuff and lose mass.

Hawking Radiation, where the black hole tends to absorb negative energy (and hence mass) from just outside the event horizon, and release positive energy(mass) to the environment.

Just one more thing to include in the list of not-impossible things.
