Does anyone have any more insight/interesting reads about the electron being a black hole thing?

Somehow the idea that electricity may come from when something is being "sucked out" of our universe is appealing.

I'm just a layman thinking of a sci-fiesque scenario, of course :)




Not exactly about the electron, but if you want good fiction about singularities and the like, find books by Greg Egan. /Incandescence/ is about a civilisation living near a black hole. When you read it, keep a paper and pencil handy. Egan's web is at http://gregegan.customer.netspace.net.au/.
