### Why is it that black holes emit Hawking radiation? [duplicate]

Black holes are basically neutron stars with such a gravitational force that even light cannot escape from it. But what causes it to emit Hawking radiation?

### If nothing can escape a black hole, where does Hawking radiation come from? [duplicate]

Hawking radiation is a form of electromagnetic wave travelling at the speed of light. Hawking radiation is radiated from a black hole. If nothing can escape the gravitational pull of a black hole, how ...

### Event horizon, and Hawking radiation [duplicate]

When the escape velocity from EH is c, then how can Hawking radiation escapes it? Does it travel faster than c? Or, it escape from outside the EH? If so, how a BH can evaporate beyond EH?

### Has anyone mathematically proven the existence of Hawking Radiation yet? [duplicate]

A little side question, can someone please explain to me how quantum and relativity would have an influence on this theory.

### Black hole complementarity - absorption of Hawking radiation

I try to understand two principles formulated by Leonard Susskind in his book The Black Hole War: 1, To any observer who remains outside a black hole, the stretched horizon appears to be a hot layer ...

### How does the Hawking Radiation mechanism cause a black hole to lose its mass? [duplicate]

Correct me if I am wrong: in the Hawking Radiation mechanism, when a virtual particle-antiparticle pair gets created at the edge of the black hole, a black hole could sometimes eat up one of the ...

### Time dilation at a black hole [duplicate]

According to the Wikipedia article on black holes: Even though the collapse takes a finite amount of time from the reference frame of infalling matter, a distant observer sees the infalling ...

### Will the black hole evaporate in finite time from external observer's perspective?

There is the problem that is bothering me with the black hole evaporation because of Hawking radiation. According to Hawking theory the black hole will evaporate in finite time because of quantum ...

### From the perspective of an observer inside a black hole's horizon, where does the energy for Hawking radiation come from?

Would energy be seen to "flow" to the outside of the black hole? Through what mechanism?

### Do the same experiments yield different results due to the principle of uncertainty?

When thinking about small particles and their uncertainity, I've allways rather seen them being all over the place rather than randomly changing location. I would think that, in the same time, you'd ...

From a simple point of view in GR/QM we take a virtual pair creation and presumable they reunite shortly in flat space-time probably representable by a space-time warpage that generates geodesic ...

### Gravitational redshift of Hawking radiation

How can Hawking radiation with a finite (greather than zero) temperature come from the event horizon of a black hole? A redshifted thermal radiation still has Planck spectrum but with the lower ...

### Evaporating black hole Penrose diagram

The context for this is the diagram from From where (in space-time) does Hawking radiation originate? - the more I think of it, the less it makes any sense ) This particular question is about ...
