What happens when two particles come within their Schwarzchild radius?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the concept of Schwarzschild radius and its implications for particles with mass, particularly inquiring about the scenario when two particles come within their respective Schwarzschild radii. The scope includes theoretical considerations of black holes and particle physics.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants propose that all particles with mass should be considered black holes with a finite Schwarzschild radius, including electrons and quarks.
  • Others argue that the assertion that all particles are black holes is unlikely, noting that the mass must exceed a certain limit for a black hole to form.
  • A participant mentions that tiny black holes would evaporate quickly according to some theories.
  • There is a contention regarding the definition of a black hole, with some participants suggesting that an electron, despite having a small Schwarzschild radius, is not a black hole.
  • One participant clarifies that they were not referring to stellar collapse but rather to the concept that any point-like mass should have a Schwarzschild radius, which for electrons is extremely small.
  • Another participant introduces a seemingly unrelated topic about the discovery of antimatter origins in space.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on whether all particles with mass can be classified as black holes. Multiple competing views remain regarding the conditions under which a mass can become a black hole and the implications of Schwarzschild radius for subatomic particles.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion regarding the definitions of black holes, the conditions necessary for their formation, and the implications of Schwarzschild radius for particles of varying masses. Some assumptions about particle behavior and black hole characteristics remain unresolved.

Correctly speaking all particles having mass should be a black and should have a small but finite swarchild radius,for example the electron,quarks etc are all black holes.
But what would happen if two particles come within their swarzchild radius?

Where did you come by this assertion ?
Whether a mass can become a black hole depends crucially on the mass of the matter, which has to be above a certain limit.

...for example the electron,quarks etc are all black holes.
Very unlikely. Tiny black holes evaporate and explode fairly quickly according to some theories.

Some physicists don't accept that there are any black holes anywhere.

i wasnt speaking of stellar collapse on chandrashekar limit.
what i meant to say that any point like mass should have a swarzchild radius
in the case of electrons it should be infinitely infinitely small
 
Yes, if you calculate the Swarzschild radius of an electron it is very small. But an electron is not a black hole.
 
Maybe you need to find the definition of black hole.

listen up everybody this is unbelivable antimatter origins in space has been discovered
