a concept was brought up calledThe Big Rip

Essentially, the premise of the big rip is, at the end of time, all structure in the universe, from the galactic to the subatomic, is shredded apart.

Question is, how does the big rip affect a black hole?

Can the rip un-point mass a quantum singularity?

[Kuroneko]

Since the big rip involves a diverging density of negative energy in finite time, it is fairly intuitive that at least in the weak-field approximation, the masses of the black holes will decrease. However, this inflow will itself change the metric, so it's difficult to say what occurs in general. If they don't get destroyed, the singularity itself should turn naked; if they do, the singularity should disappear. It's likely that someone somewhere has calculated it, but I've no idea what the verdict should be.

From my limited understanding of the topics, I imagine that as the negative energy density rises, it would lower the threshold at which virtual particles of higher energies could be created and escape as Hawking Radiation. This radiation is created when one member of a virtual particle pair is pulled into the black hole, and the other escapes; the mass of the particles that can be created depends on the tidal forces right at the event horizon. As objects start to be repelled from each-other on a subatomic scale, the net tidal forces would be vastly increased.

Essentially, the harder dark energy repels, the hotter black holes burn. It would tear black holes apart by accelerating the mechanism by which they already decay. As the atoms and quarks are torn apart, black holes will light up like new stars, pouring exponentially increasing radiation into the disintegrating void. There might be some exact description involving Schwarzschild metrics 'n math stuff.
