ah! i understand the fundamentals now, i was under the impression that the gravitational forces of the black hole eventually drew all the matter orbiting around it so close that it would cross the event horizon and be enveloped inside.
If the Sun were to suddenly become a bh, ignoring the gravity shock wave, no planet would see an altered course. The concentration of mass is (ie density) will not change its overall gravitational strength with changes to density. But what does change is the escape velocity at the surface. Schwarzschild derived from GR the size (density) and object must have so that the escape velocity is > c. That is the EH (Event Horizon). If no light can escape it will always be a dark region of space.
However, if there is gas orbiting this region, then particles will encounter friction and will work their way into the BH. This is how the first BH was found. There were x-rays being emitted that couldn't be explained (Cygnus X1), but the enormous friction at the point where the neighboring star was feeding the disk around the bh was found to be the source.
I was also under the impression that once attraction takes hold and anything that's pulled passed the event horizon and taken into the belly of the beast (so to speak) could never escape not even light could escape the massive gravitational forces, but Steven Hawking proved without a doubt that wasn't actually correct with what's now known as Hawking radiation.
Hawking radiation is only at the EH. A virtual particle can suddenly appear at the EH then split so that there is a tiny leakage of matter taking perhaps trillions of years to dissolve a BH.
My query now is, well i have two and the first is how are black holes created? and is the Hawking radiation or whatever else the black hole eventually burps out a characteristic of the certain amount of matter etc that's been ingested by the black hole or does the black hole eject stuff randomly or do we not know the answer to that question for certain at this time?
A massive star, say at least 20x that of the Sun, will go through a cycle where heavier and heavier elements will form due to fusion. Once the fusion produces iron, then energy is not produced. Worse, this process absorbs energy. This suddenly collapses the core of the star and.... bang.... you get a super nova. Since the core is still massive enough, it will crush itself into such a tiny space that an EH forms. Whether or not it continues to become a singularity is highly unclear given the bizarre physics of such a point.
