SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that black holes (BHs) are fundamentally different from elementary particles. While the concept of second quantization can be applied to fields, black holes represent non-linear solutions to field equations in curved space-time, lacking the additive conservation laws found in elementary particle theory within flat (Minkowski) space-time. The analogy between cosmological black hole production and cosmological particle production is deemed inappropriate. The presence of heavy objects in the universe does not imply they are black holes.
