: The event horizon could be analogous to a Faraday cage. Granted,
: that's a pretty loose analogy, but you get the idea. The charge could
: be there, it just couldn't interact with anything outside the event
: horizon.
A charged object inside a faraday cage can still affect things outside it.
You won't be able to detect if the interior charge is moving, the cage
as a whole still still appear charged from the outside.
Interestingly, I recall reading some time ago that one way to model
a black hole is to suppose its event horizon is perfectly conducting.
So the analogy isn't so very bad, it would seem.
: Virtual or not, photons all have the same properties.
That turns out not to be the case.
: If black holes can in fact exhibit electrical charge, a lot of work
: needs to be done on the nature and origin of EM forces.
Physicists seem to disagree with you.
