Hawking Radiation & Parity Imbalance: Matter vs. Anti-Matter

AI Thread Summary
Hawking radiation is discussed in relation to the parity imbalance between matter and anti-matter, with questions raised about whether black holes create matter. When a matter/anti-matter pair forms near a black hole's event horizon, if the matter particle is absorbed, the black hole's mass increases, while the anti-matter particle annihilates with surrounding matter, creating radiation. Conversely, if the anti-matter particle is absorbed, it raises concerns about energy conservation, as it suggests the black hole would lose mass. The discussion also speculates on the implications for galaxy formation, proposing that the accumulation of matter around black holes could lead to star formation. Ultimately, the consensus is that regardless of which particle is absorbed, the black hole's mass decreases.

Does Hawking radiation account for the parity imbalance between matter and anti-matter?
Do Black Holes create matter?

If a matter/anti-matter pair materializes on either side of the event horizon of a black hole:
1) if the matter particle is on the inside of the event horizon, the mass of the black hole increases, Its anti-matter twin will collide with a particle of matter and annhihilate with a burst of energy. The area around the event horizon should be very radioactive.​
2) If the anti-matter particle is on the inside of the event horizon, the mass of the black hole decreases? (isn't this a violation of the conservation of energy? The energy would not be able to exit the black hole. The mass of the black hole should increase). Its matter twin will increase the mass of matter surrounding the black hole. (could this be how galaxies are eventually created? The particles combining to form Hydrogen? Over time, this accumulation of mass could create massive nebulas of gas, leading to star formation.)​

No. Whether the antimatter or matter particle is the one absorbed by the BH, the effect is still the same: the BH loses mass.
 
I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...
Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'
Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
