The cosmic background radiation (CMB) has a temperature of 2.7 K. A stellar-mass black hole starts out colder than the CMB, it will absorb CMB radiation, become heavier and then even colder. Converseluy, f the black hole starts out hotter than the CMB, it will emit radiation, become lighter and then hotter, radiating faster until it disappears. | |
