I’d just figured that a dormant black hole might be so simply because it has already eaten everything within its gravitational reach. (Which is kinda creepy/scary to think of now that I said that out loud).

The biggest black hole can be found on Uranus until it gets wiped out.

In 1916, Karl Schwarzchild theorized the existence of black holes as a resolution to Einstein's field equations for his Theory of General Relativity.
Quibble: black holes were considered in Newtonian physics, by calculating the mass required to make escape velocity equal/exceed the speed of light.
Thanks Red Badger.

Dormant because they have consumed everything in their gravity well, nothing left to make any sign of their presence.
Kind of like an Antlion trap, but more massive..................
