TopicHeard in 3 episodes across 3 shows since Jul 2026
The Black Hole Era is a hypothesized period in the far future of the universe, spanning from approximately 10^40 to 10^100 years after the Big Bang, during which black holes are the only remaining organized astronomical objects. Over this immense timescale, these black holes slowly evaporate and dissipate their mass into space via Hawking radiation. Once the final black holes decay, the universe transitions into the Dark Era, consisting only of low-energy subatomic particles and photons.
