Is Hawking Radiation inherently unimportant?

AI Thread Summary
Hawking Radiation is a theoretical concept suggesting that black holes can emit particles, despite their strong gravitational pull. The discussion highlights confusion around how particles can escape a black hole's gravity, prompting a recommendation to study the original theory for clarity. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the foundational principles of Hawking Radiation before engaging in deeper discussions. A recent study is mentioned but cautioned against for those lacking prior knowledge. Overall, the conversation underscores the need for a solid grasp of the theory to appreciate its significance.

I know their is a theoretical answere to this or else the theory would have no traction...

If a black hole emits a particle at a high speed, wouldn't logic say that the black holes immense gravity simply pull it back in? Also, what kind/size particle is theorized to eject?

You completely misunderstand Hawking Radiation. I suggest you read up on it and THEN if you have questions, please ask.

The link that Chronos provided is a more recent study, but will likely just confuse you if you don't read first read about the radiation as Hawking presented it.
 
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...
