 Shell Temperature Calculation

Once formed, a black shell has a surface temperature determined by the energy of particles in its quanta. To calculate this, the shell is assumed to have a Schwarzschild radius, rs, determined by its mass, M. If G is the gravitational constant and c is the speed of light,

 Schwarzchild radius

From this, the area of black shell’s event horizon, As, is given by

 Event Horizon Area

The mass collapsing into a black shell becomes distributed uniformly throughout the quanta in the shell, maintaining the inherent symmetry and simplicity of gravitationally collapsed objects. The following equation provides the number of Planck areas, Np, by dividing the shell area by the Planck area, Ap.

 Number of Planck Areas

  Ap is not the area of the circular disk of a collapsed spacetime quantum. It is the square of the Planck length, being the sum of the disk area plus the average area of the dimensionless space between quanta. This square tessellation of the shell surface determines the number of quanta present.

Dividing the black shell mass by the number of Planck areas provides the mass in each spacetime quantum, Mp.

 Mass in each choron

 Multiplying the mass, Mp, by the square of the velocity of light provides the energy per quantum of Planck area, Ep. 

 Energy per choron

This mass per particle is difficult to attribute to any particle other than a photon. A black shell five times the mass of the sun’s has a particle mass of 3.79x10-46 kg. In comparison, a 1.1 eV neutrino has a mass 1.78x10-36 kg.

In terms of universal constants Ap is given by

   Shell area, universal constants

  The energy  per Planck area, Ep, becomes

 Energy per planck area in constants

 To obtain the temperature, I assume the photons have only one degree of freedom.  Although each quantum has four contacts with other quanta, movement of any photon in a two-dimensional symmetrically spherical matrix of photons does not change the nature of the array. For the black shell, all photons are identical.  The one degree of freedom left is that individual photons can exchange spins in the spin-neutral array required to produce a uniform shell surface.  So, the conversion factor for energy is

where T is the absolute temperature and k is the Boltzmann constant.

The expression for temperature of the Planck area and therefore that of the black shell, Tp, then becomes

  The expression developed by Michael Hawkins for the temperature of a black hole (12), T'p is

The two expressions are identical.
