Little Black Holes:Dark Matter And Ball Lightning

Abstract

Small,quiescent black holes can be considered as candidates for the missing dark matter of the universe,and as the core energy source of ball lightning.By means of gravitational tunneling,directed radiation is emitted from black holes in a process much attenuated from that of Hawking radiation,P SH, which has proven elusive to detect.Gravitational tunneling emission is similar to electric field emission of electronsfrom a metal in that a second body is involved which lowers the barrier and gives the barrier a finite rather than infinite width.Hawking deals with a single isolated black hole.
