It "just does". The 'magic' of QM... The more I study it, the more I become convinced that this represents the TRUE nature of the universe. The universe we live in is like a room in a house.

Rockerbanger--At the particle level things get weird. Really, really weird, quantum mechanics is just one of the bizarre oddities. According to Stephen Hawking black holes lose mass. They lose it because the boundry of a black hole can be effected at the atomic level. Here is his explanation: In a vacuum particles appear (with their antimatter or matter counterpart) constantly. They then destroy each other. However if a black hole is at just the right distance (unbelievably close) it can snag one of the particles and the other can escape. The captured particle destroys a tiny part of the black hole instead of its partner particle. All the Best Druss
