Hello,
So I was reading about Hawking radiation and I read a QFT interpretation of it. It went something like this:
A vacuum contains virtual particles (vacuum energy), which in qft can be described as waves that are out of phase and cancel each other out (matter and antimatter). I a black hole, this out-of-phase state is disturbed and the waves do not cancel each other out, thereby converting virtual particles into particles that seem to originate from the Black Hole.
My question is, how does a Black Hole merely "disturb" the waves of the field and not simply suck them in? I mean, isn't that what Black Holes do? Here is an image of what I'm talking about from a video by PBS Space Time:
(I'm 15 by the way, so please tell me if there are flaws in my explanation)
