Hawking radiation from a black hole?

[mAMBOkING]

In his theory, Stephen Hawking suggests that a black hole will give off thermal radiation. Radiation is light, so how can light escape the gravity of a black hole, especially originating from one? The only way I could see this was that if radiation were traveling beyond the speed of light, but that's not possible, right?

hi mAMBOkING! welcome to pf!

it doesn't come from the black hole …

it comes from the intense gravitational field just outside the event horizon
