Hawking Radiation Extrapolation: A Conjecture

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of Hawking radiation and its implications near the event horizon of black holes. It asserts that intense gravitational forces near the event horizon lead to the spontaneous creation of complementary particles, which may occur at an increased rate closer to the singularity. The conversation posits that these particles could temporarily borrow mass from the singularity, suggesting a model where the singularity may not exist as traditionally conceived, but rather as a "fuzz" of particles. This conjecture highlights the need for further theoretical development in understanding these phenomena.

The intense gravity near the event horizon causes complementary particles to pop into existence spontaneously. As local space-time is continuous through the EV, the same would be happening just inside the EV, only more so as the gravity field and gradient is greater. So near the singularity particles would be appearing at a very high rate, and there would be a fuzz of particles appearing and then disappearing down the plug hole. All these particles would borrow a little of the singularity mass, so at any one time a proportion of the mass would be in these particles and not in the singularity. Perhaps there is no singularity, and just a fuzz of particles.

Perhaps. But we currently have no theory about it, so we will have to wait a considerable time to discuss it here.
