The Field Picture and the Concept of Virtual Photons

A photon carries information about a change in the electric field. But once the electron falls into the black hole, there is no change in theelectric field. It's just frozen. So how can you feel the electric field if there's no changing? You can feel a static electric field. There's no photon required there. A photon is emitted when the electric field changes. When you wiggle the electric field, you have an update to the electric fields. That's what a photon is. And that's a real photon. Also this concept of virtual photons for people who don't like to think in terms of fields. What's happening instead is that there are virtual particles being emitted by one
