Elementary particles under the lens of the black holes

TL;DR

This paper explores the quantum properties of black holes and their implications for understanding elementary particles, including phenomena like proton decay under acceleration, with relevance to astrophysics.

Contribution

It introduces a novel perspective linking black hole quantum properties to the nature of elementary particles and their decay processes.

Findings

Quantum properties of black holes inform particle conceptions

Accelerated proton decay may be influenced by black hole physics

Implications for astrophysical phenomena

Abstract

After a brief review of the historical development and CLASSICAL properties of the BLACK HOLES, we discuss how our present knowledge of some of their QUANTUM properties shed light on the very concept of ELEMENTARY PARTICLE. As an illustration, we discuss in this context the decay of accelerated protons, which may be also relevant to astrophysics.
