blech, you're starting to ask questions that are beyond me. Basically I can answer that stellar phenomenon like the creation of black holes, is not something that occurs in any amount of time we as humans can witness. It basically takes eons to mash stars together or cause them to explode thus creating black holes. I remember reading a short paper by Stephen Hawking that explained that there's a subatomic particle which is created spontaneously in space. If one were to be created on the edge of a black hole (the event horizon) part would spiral back into the black hole while half would break away and return to normal space. This is the only way a black hole can reduce it's mass, eventually decaying over countless millenia. It's been years since I read that article so the science behind it is beyond me now.
