Assuming that Hawking radiation cause black holes to become less massive over time, it should follow that the event horizons of black holes should shrink over time as well.
In this case, what would happen if an object is orbiting the singularity within the event horizon, will the event horizon eventually recede below the orbit of the object, thus freeing it? Or would the object’s orbit shrink along with the event horizon? If the latter, what would be the cause?
