Layman question and it’s been awhile since physics class lol, what happens to the mass let off by all the Hawking radiation at that point? Is there any mechanism that converts radiation back to mass? I get E=mc2, that energy would still exist right? Is there any mechanism that could start turning that back into matter, and given time/gravity, start forming stars again?
