I am an australian high school student and was watching a program on tv explaining one of Steven Hawkings theroes about negative-positive particle cancelation and blackholes, and the came up with 2 questions:
1) If a blackhole is absorbing energy from light and chemicular reactions of normal particles, while also absorbing anti-matter particles (created in close proximity to the blackhole) that can decrease the said blackholes mass, does the energy increase the number of anti-matter particles created close to the blackhole that are then absorbed by it?
2) If so then is there a possibility that an equilibrium state can be made where the current mass of the blackhole equals the mass of simultaniusly absorbed anti-matter particles resulting in the sudden ceasation of the blackholes existance?
I've asked all of my science teachers but they just look at me in a fuuny way or walk away without comment.
