How long would it take for a black hole to consume the Earth?
1 Answer
Sun system might be tossed into Andromeda, when the the coronas of our spiraling and growing galaxy Milky Way and neighboring Andromeda brace each other, far away from our Black Hole..
Explanation:
It is a scientific surmise that apocalypse for our solar system is
only after merger of our galaxy, with the neighboring galaxy
Andromeda.
Perhaps, this event might occur by about 7 billion years from
now.
Yet, much earlier, the Sun in flames might wane and shrink to a
white dwarf, by about 4 billion years from now. The inner planets
might be non-existent then. and with the Earth in the queue.
Earth might not reach Black Hole as Earth.
My estimate for Big Bang Cycle (BBC) is more than 20 billion years.
BBC can be defined, with respect to our universe, as Disintegration-
Integration-Disintegration Cycle.
