can someone please try to explain to me how a particle can have negative energy - specifically how one particle from spontaneous particle pair production near a BH EH can (must) have negative energy as it falls into the BH resulting in hawking radiation?
i am now trying to accept that everything i thought i knew is wrong. i was taught that a photon has no position between the time it is emitted and the time it is absorbed - apparently that is wrong, since people are now doing photon-photon collision testing. i was also taught that a photon cannot be accelerated - apparently that is wrong too (four-work?), though i don't get it. or how half of a particle pair can escape from near the EH of a BH when the other doesnt, when they are not created with anything near C velocity which they would have to have to escape anywhere near the EH, and they only exist for extremely short period of time to begin with...
