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 absorbed graviton to bring less energy to 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
absorbs more mass than energy, photons cannot help but decelerate and will accrue mass rapidly. In
practice, these would cease to
be photons at all, being nothing more than permanently
overstable
blackholes with a lusty appetite for accretion.
- 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 if 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 certainly gluttonise but only till it becomes
stable again. Contrast this description with a
galactic blackhole driven by a mass/energy differential
which absorbs more mass than energy. In such a blackhole the default condition, indeed
the only
condition, is to be overstable. Such a blackhole is never able to
eject more than it absorbs. Consequently, it eats anything and
everything with its rate of growth in size and appetite being
near to exponential. Every graviton it absorbs increases
its mass and every increase in mass increases the
blackhole's ability to attract yet more mass.
