AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights concerns regarding the application of the Hawking equations, specifically the relationship between power, time, and energy. It points out that multiplying Hawking power by evaporation time yields an unexpected result, suggesting a misunderstanding of the underlying physics. The power law indicates the total power output of a black hole at a specific mass, which changes as the black hole loses mass over time. Therefore, simply multiplying these quantities does not yield a relevant or accurate energy measurement. The complexities of black hole evaporation necessitate a more nuanced approach to these calculations.

I previously posted on the idea that the Hawking equations looked wrong: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=666962

I returned to this topic recently, and noticed something.

If you multiply power by time, you should get energy. Multiplying the Hawking power by the evaporation time, gives a peculiar answer...see attachment.

ideas?

You can't just multiply quantities together and expect a relevant answer. The power law is how much power the black holes emits, which changes depending on the mass. Since the mass changes over time, you can't simply multiply the power law times the evaporation time.
 
Just FYI, the power law gives the total power output of the black hole of mass M at a single point in time. As soon as energy is radiated away, the black hole loses mass and the radiated power increases.
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
