the electron falls and emits radiation. will it lose all it's energy by the time it reaches the event horizon or will it have enough (>2m) to produce a particle shower? Will other things happen?
A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. This is caused by the extreme curvature of space and time near the center of the black hole, known as the singularity.
An electron can fall into a black hole if it enters the event horizon, which is the point of no return where the gravitational pull becomes too strong for anything to escape. Once inside the event horizon, the electron will be pulled towards the singularity and eventually be crushed into it.
As the electron falls towards the singularity, it will experience extreme tidal forces which will stretch and distort it. Eventually, the electron will reach the singularity and be crushed into a point of infinite density known as a "singularity". At this point, the electron's mass and energy will be added to the black hole's mass, increasing its gravitational pull.
No, once an electron enters the event horizon of a black hole, it cannot escape. This is because the escape velocity required to overcome the black hole's gravitational pull is greater than the speed of light, which is the universal speed limit.
The implications of an electron falling into a black hole depend on the size and properties of the black hole. If the black hole is small, the addition of the electron's mass and energy may not have a significant impact. However, if the black hole is large, it could affect its growth and behavior. Additionally, the absorption of an electron by a black hole could release a burst of energy in the form of gravitational waves, which can be detected by scientists.
