Depending on the intent of the question, the consistency of a black hole might refer to one of several separate considerations. Perhaps most obviously, what a black hole 'consists of' might refer to its general anatomy; it would be described as a region in which the curvature of timespace becomes infinite owing to the presence of matter whose radius is smaller than its Schwarzschild radius, and from which the escape velocity is faster than the speed of light (hence, light doesn't escape). The nature of matter inside the black hole, while not directly observable, is believed to be concentrated at its center in a region called a singularity, which contains matter whose density is infinite (i.e., it exhibits mass but zero volume). As such, the type or kind of matter in this singularity is not yet adequately described by our physics and it sometimes referred to as 'exotic.' Since escape velocity from a specified distance from a mass decreases with increased distance from this singularity, there is a notional boundary where the escape velocity is c (the speed of light), a spherical or spheroidal region called the event horizon, which, if matter passes inward, it's a one-way trip - it would be unable to exit.

If the intent of the question relates to a physical property of matter other than mass, charge, or spin, (for example, the idea of consistency one might associate with texture) then one would have to refer to the 'no hair theorem', which states that properties other than these aren't really applicable, and in that sense, all black holes are similar. Note that properties such as size or overall density can be derived from mass. Outside the black hole other effects are often apparent, like the presence of an accretion disk of superheated infalling matter, or relativistic jets at the poles.

If the intent of the question refers to how often a black hole changes (i.e., is it consistent and unchanging in time) then one need only recognize that it will continue to exist so long as at least some matter is falling into it from the surrounding space. Fairly recent studies suggest that black holes may interact with the universe in such a way as to lose very small amounts of mass over time (see Hawking radiation). If a black hole were to be isolated such that no matter would fall in over an extremely long interval, it is conceivable that through this mechanism they would "evaporate" entirely and thus eventually cease to exist.

Black holes have a singularity at their center, which is a point of infinite density and zero volume. Surrounding the singularity is the event horizon, a boundary beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole. The consistency of a black hole is therefore characterized by extreme gravitational forces that distort space-time.

Is the super massive black hole the largest black hole?

Black hole is a location in space that possesses so much gravity, nothing can escape from its pull. Yes, Super massive black hole is the largest black hole.


Can you make a black hole inside a black hole?

We know nothing about the conditions within a black hole, but it seems unlikely that a black hole could exist within a black hole, or even if this concept would have any meaning at all.


Is an Intermediate-mass black hole a type of black hole?

Yes. Intermediate-mass blackhole is a medium size black hole. Scientists have found stellar black holes and supermassive black holes but there is no prove that Intermediate-mass black type of black holes exist. My opinion is that they do exist because when a black hole is becoming a black hole supermassiveblack hole it will need to go though this stage of intermediate-mass black hole.
