University of Lancaster and Imperial College of London in the UK found a violation of one of the fundamental laws of physics – the maintenance of an electric charge. However, this is a violation occurs at extremely exotic conditions: in the singularity of the black hole, where the so-called axion bomb falls – a special combination of electromagnetic and axion fields. Researchers published their findings in the German scientific journal AnnaLen der Physik. Briefly about scientific work is told in a press release on phys.org.
According to the authors of the article, a non-trivial topological space, including what is present in the center of the black hole can disrupt the salary, that is, the charge may arise from nowhere or be destroyed. However, it depends on the nature of the charge itself, that is, the configuration of the electromagnetic field. To demonstrate such a violation, the scientists have added an additional member to the Maxwell equations – anxious. Arsa are hypothetical, not yet detected particles whose existence is necessary to save CP invariance. They are also particles of candidates of dark matter.
According to mathematical design, developed by scientists, there may be an axion field or topological anxion, differing from standard Axion to interesting physical properties associated with the topology of space. When the Singularity approaches the axioning field and the electromagnetic field associated with them begin to “shrink” and, ultimately. disappears in singularity, taking with them charge.
At the same time, scientists emphasize that although they demonstrated that, in the general sense, in singularity, anything, space-time surrounding singularity may occur, is subject to conventional physical laws, which limits the loopholes in which they may violate. The field configuration itself cannot occur naturally, however, a hypothetical-developed civilization can still adjust the global charge of the universe if the onset of temporary singularity is predicted, such as evaporating black hole.
