... , roughly the size of a proton- would have a temperature of some one-hundred twenty billion degrees Kelvin, which corresponds to an energy of some ten million electron volts. At such a temperature, a black hole would be able to create electron-positron pairs and particles of zero mass, such as photons, neutrinos, and gravitons, the presumed carriers of gravitational energy. A primordial black hole would release ... species of 9 elementary particles there are. A black hole explosion would produce a massive outpouring of high-energy gamma rays. A high energy gamma ray plunging into the atm...

... in the "Lamb shift" of the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. The spectrum of light is altered slightly because the tiny electric fields of these virtual pairs cause the atom's electron to shake in its orbit. Now, if a virtual pair appears near a black hole, one particle might become caught up in a hole's gravity and dragged in, leaving the other without its ... ...
