freeztar Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 You are right, the frequency would increase lockstep and an outside observer would see time stopped so observe no changes. As far as I know most think that particles falling into a BH assume they will remain particles and yet in our world we give them the Dr. Jykle and Mr. Hyde wave particle duality. I personally dislike the notion because it's like saying a truck can suddenly turn into an elephant by way of virtual photons. But dislike needs to be separated from unacceptance. I'm not comfortable with sub-atomic particles, but that doesn't mean I can't accept the reality of their existence. Are leptons and quarks not "real"? Quote
Little Bang Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Posted August 19, 2009 Is it to difficult to imagine we could predict a particular waveform from a postulated collision of a given energy and call that temporary waveform a particle? Isn't it possible that because they could not explain matter any other way they chose to use these postulated particles? Quote

No. Isn't it possible that because they could not explain matter any other way they chose to use these postulated particles? Yes, I think that's how it works. Theory dictates experiment and vice versa. I'm not set on the standard model, but this thread really isn't about that. I still like the thought of the beginning being a singularity consisting of waves that experience infinite (for all practical purposes) time dilation. :rolleyes: Quote
