Hawking radiation involves the creation of particle-antiparticle pairs near a black hole's event horizon, where one particle falls into the black hole and the other escapes. The particle that enters must have negative energy to conserve total energy, as the escaping particle carries positive energy. This heuristic explanation, while useful, does not fully align with the complexities of actual physics, particularly regarding virtual particles, which are mathematical constructs rather than physical entities. The discussion highlights the challenges of understanding black hole interiors and the limitations of classical general relativity in describing them. Ultimately, a deeper understanding of quantum gravity is necessary to clarify these concepts.
