What is to stop the accelerated positive nuclei from emitting EM radiation and spiraling into the BH? Since the BH has a huge gravitational force associated with it, there is no need for either it, or the orbiting matter, to be charged. Other matter will happily orbit it (in the conventional sense), just in very tiny orbits. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
