Using Black Holes to Check the Relation Between Mass and Charge of Elementary Particles
1:48:22 - 1:54:33 (06:11)
Black holes can be used to check the relation between the mass and charge of elementary particles. The mass of the electrons can be less than one but bigger than 10 to the minus 30 in our universe, and the set of consistent quantum field theories are infinite but humongous.

Though there are an infinite number of quantum field theories, the ones that are consistent are a finite list.

Summary
Though there are an infinite number of quantum field theories, the ones that are consistent are a finite list. The theories that are considered consistent with gravity form only a small percentage of all possible theories.

In string theory, gravitational force is always present but known to be the weakest force compared to the other ones in the landscape due to patterns and a comparison of the mass of electrons.

Black hole evaporation provides a means to verify the relationship between the mass and charge of elementary particles, revealing the mass of electrons to be less than one, but greater than 10^-30 in our universe.
1:52:01 - 1:54:33 (02:32)
Summary
Black hole evaporation provides a means to verify the relationship between the mass and charge of elementary particles, revealing the mass of electrons to be less than one, but greater than 10^-30 in our universe. However, the possibility of black hole evaporation necessitates particles with sufficiently small mass so that gravity is weaker, with the mass of electrons turning out to be 10^-20.
