Elementary particles under the lens of the black holes

Abstract: After a brief review of the historical development and CLASSICAL properties of the BLACK HOLES, we discuss how our present knowledge of some of their QUANTUM properties shed light on the very concept of ELEMENTARY PARTICLE. As an illustration, we discuss in this context the decay of accelerated protons, which may be also relevant to astrophysics.

“…In particular, the superposition of (N-electrons) quantum states over the 10cm scale human brain has been estimated to last for millions of years using a free electron Schwarzschild radius of about 1.35 × 10 −55 cm [5]. On the other hand, elementary particles have also been studied under the perspectives of microscopic black holes [6,7]. This microworld scheme suggests that the black hole mass spectrum in quantum theory is discrete such that the black hole horizon area is confined to equaly spaced levels whose degeneracy corresponds to the black hole entropy [8].…”
