what's the best guess whether dark matter is consumed by black holes or not...?
if it is hovering above and around galaxies in the area where black holes exist, can the BH's manage to grab some?... would an actively feeding BH with a jet erupting thru the dark matter that is hanging around up there cause any abrupt changes in the dark matter or scoop any into the event horizon?...I can't imagine the two being mixed together as anything but totally unpredictable!!.... what's been thought already about this, anyone ever read it?...

We assume that the gravitational interactions of dark matter are the same as for all other matter. Its gravititational effect is, after all, the reason we believe it exists.

If Dark Matter actually turns out to be exotic stuff, it must also be consumed by black holes.
"I can't imagine the two being mixed together as anything but totally unpredictable!!"
Scientists must predict the unpredictable. We have looked for WIMPs as Dark Matter, and found none. If Dark Matter is exotic stuff, it must be passing right through us right now. Absolutely must be NOT interactions with either normal matter or other Dark Matter.
[EDIT:
Oh, and black holes are some of the things that express as Dark Matter. They only interact via gravitation. No friction, no absorbing / re-emitting passing light.

dark rely, because of fact the end results of dark rely are observable and its postulated existence is falsifiable. edit: Dharmah - it is not what dark rely is. i'm no physicist, yet even i will see your post gets numerous considerable factors incorrect.
