  These ones will be quite dim

    Yeah, I suppose after a billion billion billion or so years, it probably would be

      The light will eventually tire out and turn into radio waves or smth, I’m not a physicist

  Is that because of the accretion disk?

    And Hawking radiation. Hawking radiation is pretty “dark” for solar-mass scale black holes and up, but it can become relatively very intense for smaller holes.

    For the holes we observe astronomically, the things we can see are the accretion disks and the orbits of stars around the black hole.

      But that happens because of matter falling into them, right? When they’ve already swallowed everything, there’s not going to be accretion disks.

        Yeah, though eventually they should all evaporate one after another with a last huge tiny energy burst due to hawking radiation. But that will take a looooooooong ass time. And we still don’t know (might never know) if hawking radiation is real.
