New Question:
When anti-particles fall into a black hole they supposedly become "real particles" allowing their partner to escape to infinity. Any idea how this happens?
I have another question: If a strong gravitational field causes a particle to lose energy, would a strong enough gravitational field cause a particle to have negative energy?
I read that the closer a particle is to a large body (in this case a black hole), the less energy the particle has because it would take a lot of energy to allow it to escape from the gravitational field of that body. Is this right, and if so is that what you mean when the curvature of space...
So from what I understand, virtual particles that are created at the edge of a black hole can become the small detectable radiation (hawking radiation) if one of the particles falls into a black hole, becoming a real particle (its partner now no longer has to annihilate with it) and the second...
Theoretically, would everything be REALLY REALLY blue at the singularity of a black hole because of the blue shift caused by all the light racing to it (the singularity)?
Arigato,
