Black Hole Lifetimes


Enter a mass below, specifying whether it's in electron volts (for really small black holes) or kilograms, and this page will calculate how long the black hole will last. A quantum effect called Hawking radiation actually evaporates black holes over time, by a mechanism involving pair production at the edge of the Schwarzchild radius.
