COMMENTARY
What
happens here is one of the most important mechanisms in the
Universe: that the absorbing or ejecting of gravitons alters the
mass and energy measures of the gaining or losing object differentially. If this mechanism didn't exist, objects
could never stabilise or destabilise and the wide range of
different objects we see about us in the Universe couldn't exist in
their current form. Without this mechanism there would be no photons, no atoms, no stars, no
galaxies - no us.
Note that this
argument allows an ejected graviton to take away less energy from the blackhole
than mass. However, while this undoubtedly happens it is not the norm in
the Universe as it currently is. That this is so can be seen if we
visualise some examples from a contrary Universe:
- PHOTONS: (see
Chapter Six):
Photons rely on a mass/energy differential favouring energy
to keep moving at lightspeed. With a differential that
ejects more mass than energy, photons cannot help but
accelerate while whittling away. Continue this for long enough and the
photon dissipates to nothing.
- GALACTIC BLACKHOLES: (See
Chapter Thirteen):
Observations show that, while galactic blackholes dominate
the
surrounding
matter with their mighty gravitypull, they are selective about
when they "eat". They have quiescent periods and even in
non-quiescent periods their appetite is not exactly voracious. This is
exactly what happens when the mass/energy differential in the
absorption and ejection of gravitons favours energy.
With such a differential, the default condition for a blackhole is to
be stable: an understable galactic blackhole can only
feed sparingly if at all: an overstable galactic blackhole
will gluttonise but only till it becomes
stable again. Contrast this description with a
galactic blackhole driven by a mass/energy differential
which ejects more mass than energy. In such a blackhole the
default condition, indeed
the only
condition, is to be understable. Such a blackhole is never
able to
absorb more than it ejects. Consequently, it whittles itself away
at a rate that increases near to exponentially. Every graviton it
ejects increases its ratio of energy over mass and increases its
ability to eject even more gravitons. Such a blackhole cannot help but
dissipate away to nothing.
