MATTER AND ANTIMATTER

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy (page 116) quotes
Stephen Hawking-
" Matter-antimatter pairs of particles are continually being produced
throughout space even in a perfect ' vacuum.'. This may be considered
a concequence of a variant of the Uncertainty Principle; large amounts
of energy are available for proportionally brief periods of time. This energy
may be sufficient to create an electron-positron pair,say, which then
annihilates almost immediately. The net effect is nothing produced from
nothing. In the extreme gravitational environment close to the
Schwarschild Radius of a black hole, one of the newly-created particles
may be dragged within the black hole. This time the net effect is a free
particle outside the hole. We cannot get something for nothing however,
and the black hole decreases in mass by an amount proportional to the
mass and energy of the free particle. In this way a black hole evaproates
away its rest mass energy.".

This theory requires that one of the particles , say the positron , is an
antimass which would subtract from the mass of the black hole and
result in an evaporation or decrease in the mass-energy of the black
hole. The first law of thermodynamics says that this is not possible.

In an expanding universe of constant total energy, as predicted by the
first law of thermodynamics, the expansion of the universe relative to
a mass, with the resulting decrease of potential energy, relative to that
mass, say, equal to the energy of a high energy gamma ray, could
result in the formation of an electron-positron pair of equal total
kinetic energy, if the mass provides the necessary environment.
This is necessary to conserve the total energy of the universe.
Although the positron is a positive charge and
the electron is a negative charge, their total energy is positive
and equal to the total energy of the high energy gamma ray that
they replaced. No reduction of the total energy of the black hole
could result from the acquisition of a positron.
( The first law of thermodyanmics so specifies.).
