LHC@home

In a discussion about the LHC and worlds near end (Ha!) I came across the question what forces a black hole can actually exhibit?

The corresponding formulas mention Mass, Angular Momentum and the electric Charge as factors in the equation describing a Black hole.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr-Newman_metric

The question that came up was if the Black Hole actually exhibits an attracting force on particles of the opposite polarity (and correspondingly a repulsing force on particles of equal polarity) beyond the Event Horizon?

I think that, as photons are transmitters of information and forces within electromagnetic fields, that the information that the particular charge is there can not possibly go through the Event Horizon and therefore, beyond it, no forces on charged particles through the charge of the black hole are exhibited.

I expect that the energy of the charge actually contributes to the mass of the black hole and that this is the whole effect measurable beyond the Event Horizon.

Can someone enlighten me please? :D

Nature Magazine writes that a faulty weld between two conductors
provoked a short which caused a small explosion sending a piece of metal to perforate a tube carrying liquid helium.

This well could explain the recent UFO reports in Switzerland describing a craft 27 km in diameter floating at an altitude of around 6 km, and spitting out the occasional tiny black hole.

... a tonne of liquid helium leaked into the tunnel ...

Does that mean everyone is now speaking in high pitched Mickey Mouse voices?

My boys have already got a black hole in their room. I think all the socks go there.

If you keep a black hole in your washing machine you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ll find it selectively swallows only one sock of a pair of socks. One of those mysteries of the universe.
