Charged particles from our Sun travelling too fast?

AI Thread Summary
Charged particles from the Sun are reportedly traveling to Earth at speeds that current solar models struggle to explain. The discussion raises the possibility of Hawking radiation influencing these particles, though it is clarified that Hawking radiation is specific to black holes and does not apply to the Sun. Theoretical implications of Hawking radiation suggest it could impart momentum to particles from black holes with accretion discs, but calculations to support this are complex. The conversation also touches on the nature of mass and event horizons, emphasizing that a black hole's characteristics differ fundamentally from those of the Sun. Overall, the consensus is that Hawking radiation cannot account for the high-speed particles emitted by the Sun.

I read somewhere (Wikipedia I think) that charges particles are leaving our Sun and heading for Earth faster than can be explained by current solar models.Is it possible that there is some Hawking radiation inside the Sun imparting extra energy to these particles? Or does Hawking radiation only come from Black Holes?

Hawking radiation may seem too theretical but it could also be imparting extra momentum to high-speed charged particles emitted by black holes with accretion discs.The disc mass outside the hole would somehow have to be raising the temperature of the hole.But I'm sure that any calculation to prove this would be immensely difficult.And I'm more like Eisenstein than Einstein!
 
Hawking radiation is specific to black holes only. It's an effect of negative energy states being available inside the event horizon of a black hole. No event horizon means no negative energy states, meaning no Hawking radiation.
 
A black hole with an accretion disc is a mass with another mass outside it.
The Sun can have one atom at its centre with the rest of its mass outside this atom.What's the difference - that atom would have a Schwarzshild radius.And there could be nothing at the centre of a black hole or of the Sun-what if the centres are just geometrical points?
 
Any object has a Schwarzschild radius. But, the object is only a black hole if all of its mass is contained inside said radius. This is not the case for any atom, nucleus, nucleon, etc.
 
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...
This hypothesis of scientists about the origin of the mysterious signal WOW seems plausible only on a superficial examination. In fact, such a strong coherent radiation requires a powerful initiating factor, and the hydrogen atoms in the cloud themselves must be in an overexcited state in order to respond instantly. If the density of the initiating radiation is insufficient, then the atoms of the cloud will not receive it at once, some will receive it earlier, and some later. But then there...
