it sounds more like history of evolution. And, isnt there a theory that there were others, like cyanobacteria before photosynthetic unicellular organisms not vice versa.
Nothing, flash, explosion, plasma, atoms, gas, galaxies, stars, planets, life, people, technology... Artificial intelligence, interstellar exploration, unified galactic consciousness, exponential cosmic expansion, star formation ends, last stars die, baryons decay, black holes evaporate... Nothing.
Ah yes, the question that has always haunted me: why should black holes evaporate? If there is singularity in them, does it evaporate too? Maybe a good link?
why should black holes evaporate? because nothing lasts forever. the singularity doesn't vanish because it never appeared either. it was there all along, but it couldn't be seen until the black hole appeared.
Nothing. Energy, matter; coalescence, formation; life, mutation; thought, transcendence; entropy, death.
Black holes evaporate because of the virtual particle creation and destruction that occours continuously in every bit of space. Because the gravitational strength can vary so radically over the width of an electron near a small black hole, some of the virtual particle pairs that form there never recombine, and one of the pair heads for the hole, while one escapes. Hawkings view of conservation of mass and energy led him to decide that since a particle was created near the hole, and continued to exist, the hole had to have given up some of it's mass to pay for the creation of that particle. And there isn't really an inside to a black hole. No point of mass existing in a space. That would require there to be spacetime past the event horizon, and that don't happen. Asking if the mass of a black hole is in a point in the middle, or distributed in a two dimensional event horizon is asking the wrong question. Even popular astrophysisists talk about going through the event horizon, and that's not what happens. People need to stop trying to apply rules that describe spacetime in areas where it doesn't exist.
So, it looses mass, but how long does it remain a black hole (till what ammount of mass), and what comes/remains in its' place?

Have you any reason to believe that that is the case? And how would it relate to the current `stringy/fuzzy black hole` theory?
Not yet. Eventually human (and alien) consciousness will transcend physical reality and become incorporated into the very structure of space itself. Our minds - or the collective supermind we will have become - shall continue growing and broadening until its spans millions of lightyears.
