        Umm, this is interesting! ;-) How would we consider the distance
between the event horizon and the singularity that is an electron? Would
the event-horizon emit Hawking radiation?
(http://www.alcyone.com/max/writing/essays/black-hole-evaporation.html)
That would be the life-span of the black hole of an electron, given the
evaporation? What/where would it evaporate to?

        Why is it necessary to assume that MIND is material? Could it be
defined in terms of the information that is encodable on the event
horizon? What happens to the information as the black hole evaporates?

Later,
