astronomy - Anti-Matter Black Holes


Assuming for a second that there were a pocket of anti matter somewhere sufficiently large to form all the type of object we can see forming from normal matter - then one of these objects would be a black hole.


Question is, would there be a difference between an anti matter black hole and a normal matter black hole - in terms of how would the matter/anti-matter make the black hole different, or would they be the same?


I would expect the answer to be that the black hole formed from anti matter would retain the anti-matter properties in such a way that if it was to merge with a black hole at same size formed from normal matter that they would annihilate each other con convert into pure energy - Would that be a correct understanding?



Answer



That other question mentioned in the question-comments also discussed annihilation of particles and neutralization of electric charge inside the event horizon. In either question, the no-hair theorem trumps all. If GR is the end of the story, particle identity is destroyed by the singularity. Even if post-GR theories of gravity rescue the Universe from the creation of singularities, it doesn't matter because the form of the mass-energy inside the event horizon doesn't matter to the outside world.
