> But there's nothing that stops it, say, eating protons and spitting out positrons later Oh, I see what you mean, but it's not clearly because of symmetries breaking inside the horizon, rather than high-energy pairs taking energy from the background. Semiclassically: collapse an isolated star (here we depart from Hawking's formalism), and observe nothing but photons (with wavelengths comparable to the curvature radius) forming an atmosphere densest around ~ 3m \lt r \lessapprox 4m until m is very small, at which point you'll observe pair production in the atmosphere densest around ~ 4m. \lessapprox 4m is the back reaction mess of the inner atmosphere on chaotic and mostly plunging trajectories, and the highly dynamical part of the spacetime. [cf. Unruh https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevD.15.365 nb 3rd paragraph, "It must be remembered that talk about particles is a very crude and metaphorical way of talking about the physics near the horizon of the black hole", and Giddings https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.08221 ] In the Hawking formalism the background is static, and that forces the use of an infalling negative energy; that's not a real symmetry being broken gravitationally, and so I'm wary about the idea of breaking baryon (and lepton) symmetry with black holes. So really this is mostly a wordy objection to "spitting out". |
