Mr Skeptic Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Black holes are supposed to be able to have a charge. However, as far as I know, electromagnetic fields travel at c, so that even photons cannot escape a black hole. What about the electric field of an electron? And if we are talking quantum, what about virtual photons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH3RL0CK Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I think the distinction is that the photons necessary to act as the intermediator ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_force ) have already entered the black hole. I also don't see why the weak and strong nuclear forces couldn't act as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
