In this context, “negative mass” is a mathematical convenience rather than an actual particle having negative mass.

Think of it more like “energy required to pull apart a matter-antimatter pair”. In the vacuum of space, the energy that created the pair gets returned when they annihilate. But when near a blackhole, it had to “burn” some of its energy to interrupt that process. Energy is mass, so the blackhole gets less massive.

Mind you this is a very basic explanation of it. It’s just another quantum whackyness of our universe.

This is so painfully close to being Loss. There’s got to be a way to juggle those squares around just right.

I’m still waiting for all the 2A people to resist that tyranny. Any day now, take your time.
