     That's the prevailing theory.  Another is that they really are a toilet
flush, with all of the sucked in matter getting spat out somewhere else through
a spatial wormhole of some sort.  Carl Sagan tossed that out as a possibility in
Contact (book, not movie), and Walt Disney did the same with The Black Hole.
It's a neat theory, but so far we haven't seen any concrete evidence of any
matter spouts to support it (then again, Sagan's explanation does deal with this
problem to a certain extent).

Perhaps it's converted into 'dark matter'.
