Impulse – Volume 5 Number 3, Winter 1977

Quantum mechanics has recently hypothesized with xtrastenchial Hegelian dichotomy religious fantasy that the whole of space is filled with pairs of “virtual” particles & antiparticles who/that are constantly materializing in pairs, separating & then coming together again & annihilating each other. In the presence of a (one of many) black hole(s) the drama begins: one member of a pair of virtual particles may fall into the hole; so tragic; leaving the other member without a partner with which to annihilate. The forsaken particle or antiparticle may fall into the black hole after its partner, but he may also escape to infinity, where she appears to be radiation emitted by the black hole.
