Question

when matter enters a black hole is it transformed into WIMPS?

Answer 1

First off, WIMPS are theoretical - predicted by supersymmetry. There is no evidence that they even exist.



But, assuming they do exist, there is no reason to think that regular matter entering a black hole would be converted to WIMPS. The tidal forces are relatively small on anything entering a supermassive black hole, so an object will remain intact as it moves into the interior. As it approaches the center of the black hole, the energy density may become great enough for super symmetry to manifest itself (it is a broken symmetry at all but the most extreme energy levels), in which case the WIMPS may be physically interchangeable with normal matter (which is the basis for all the various symmetries of the standard model of physics). Being exchangeable under supersymmetry is not the same as being transformed though.



Some models have proposed that WIMPS can decay into gamma rays or 'normal' matter. There is always the possibility I suppose that the decay process could be triggered by compression in the black hole.

Answer 2

Nobody can really answer that. It is yet unknown. Scientists can only hypothesize and speculate.

Answer 3

Nobody ?
