Larger mass? Two black holes with larger mass than before the virtual particles...

Hey! Virtual particles appear and annihilate all over the universe. If a pair is created just on a black hole event horizon, the hole can take one particle and the other goes free - the hole has to give some energy in order for this to be real. Hawking, no? But - what if two small black...

Hey! What would happen if you were orbiting a neutron star and shot a powerful laserbeam at the surface, at some angle? Would it reflect? Would it be absorbed? Thinking (if you picture the star as a perfect neutron star) that the surface is absolutley smooth, it would reflect light...

Hello! Thanks for the welcome :) Ok I see your argumentation, but have a few follow up's 1. The mass of my moving body will approach infinity, not become infinite - distinction there! So, for the sake of argument again, the mass of my bullet is traveling around 0.99999999 of c when missing...

Hello. If you were far away from a small black hole, and shot (for the sake of argument a bullet) with such precision so that it would just miss the event horizon, I have learned that the body falling in will gain speed as it approaches the black hole, and at the event horizon the speed is c...
