Blackhole Evolution....

There is a classical law of blackhole evolution, according to general relativity, that the surface area of a blackhole may only increase with time and never decrease. This is due to the fact that infalling matter will cause the event horizon to expand outward and in order for the event horizon to contract, matter must escape to the outside universe; (such an act would violate many principles of realtvity and a few laws of physics). There is no limit to the amount of matter that can fall in. So it's safe to say that since nothing escapes from a blackhole, they'll only get bigger over time.....or is it...??
