    Annihilation Blackholes

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the phenomenon of particle and antiparticle annihilation in the context of black holes, specifically addressing the implications of Hawking radiation. It is established that during the Big Bang, a minuscule fraction of particle pairs survived annihilation, contributing to the formation of galaxies and stars. The conversation explores the theoretical scenario where a particle escapes a black hole without its antiparticle, questioning the necessary changes to the black hole to maintain energy conservation. The use of Feynman diagrams is suggested as a method to illustrate these anomalies and their connection to black holes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Hawking radiation and its implications on black holes
  • Familiarity with particle physics concepts, including particle-antiparticle pairs
  • Knowledge of Feynman diagrams and their application in quantum field theory
  • Basic grasp of energy conservation principles in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Hawking radiation on black hole thermodynamics
  • Study the role of particle-antiparticle pairs in cosmology and the early universe
  • Explore advanced topics in quantum field theory, focusing on Feynman diagrams
  • Investigate the conservation laws in quantum mechanics and their application to black holes
USEFUL FOR

The discussion is beneficial for theoretical physicists, cosmologists, and students of quantum mechanics interested in the intersection of particle physics and black hole phenomena.

So around the time of the Big Bang, Particle and antiparticle pairs were created and annihilated. I believe one out of every 100 million(?) particle pairs actually didn't have an accompanying antiparticle, and survived the maelstrom, giving us the galaxies and stars we have today.

Now, at the EH of a black hole, where virtual particles escape from the black-hole as hawking radiation, if one of these anomalies occur, where the particle is able to escape, and have no antiparticle accompanying it, what properties of the black hole have to change in order to preserve the conservation of energy? Is there any change at all to the black hole?

I think that what you call an anomaly should be described by a Feynman diagram. And that one of its legs should be linked to the BH.
