Game: Black Hole Evaporation Challenge
5 / 6
Because smaller black holes are hotter, they radiate energy faster and lose mass more quickly. This leads to a runaway effect: as they shrink, they get hotter and evaporate even faster. In this challenge, order three black holes by their evaporation time. Remember, lifetime scales with the cube of the mass. So, the smallest black hole will vanish first, and the supermassive one will outlast the current age of the universe.
