Question about relativistic quantum hawking radiation.

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the complexities of Hawking radiation and the behavior of black holes, particularly regarding the formation and escape of particles near the event horizon. It emphasizes that the common "virtual particle" explanation is a simplified interpretation and not a precise representation of the underlying physics. Participants debate how black holes can lose energy and evaporate, with references to tunneling effects and the role of negative energy in this process. There is also confusion about how photons can exist and behave near the event horizon, given the extreme conditions inside a black hole. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics and general relativity in the context of black holes.
