Does dark matter originate from matter falling into a black hole?



Is it possible that due to the fact that dark matter is clumped around black holes, that the dark matter used to be matter, fell into a black hole, and simply became dark?


Furthermore, if the total "dark mass" of a galaxy is changing over time, maybe this is related to the amount of mass being consumed by the black hole(s) within it.


These are just some thoughts from the coffee table, harsh criticism welcomed.



Answer



This wouldn't work because the dark matter wouldn't be able to escape the black hole. Also, the measured mass of black holes contradicts this.
