Are two oppositely charged black holes, matter & antimatter?
Let's say we have 2 identical black holes, except that their charges are opposite in sign.
Can we consider one to be matter, and the other antimatter? After all, I heard that anti-particles are the ...

Actual physicists: shoot down my hypothesis regarding antimatter, primordial black holes, and the origin of the universe [closed]

If electrons were just positrons moving backwards in time, then shouldn't we see them coming out of black holes?

In effect, the formerly spacelike direction inwards becomes timelike, and the singularity is in the ...

Charged black holes and the matter antimatter imbalance
After the big bang, could it be that lots of charged primordial black holes began to form? Would this make it more likely for oppositely charged particles to fall in, and thus cause the matter/...

Why is matter-antimatter asymmetry surprising, if asymmetry can be generated by a random walk in which particles go into black holes?
My understanding is the early universe was a very "hot" (ie energy dense) environment. It was even hot enough for black holes to form from photons.
My second point of understanding is that black ...
