Hawking radiation

Radiation theoretically emitted from just outside the event horizon of a black hole. Stephen W. Hawking proposed in 1974 that subatomic particle pairs (photons, neutrinos, and some massive particles) arising naturally near the event horizon may result in one particle's escaping the vicinity of the black hole while the other particle, of negative energy, disappears into it. The flow of particles of negative energy into the black hole reduces its mass until it disappears completely in a final burst of radiation.

Hunting hidden dimensions: black holes, giant and tiny, may reveal ... by Steele, Diana / Science News However, the predicted Hawking radiation in these schemes is incredibly weak or otherwise masked by commonplace radiation due to unavoidable heating of the device, making the Hawking radiation very difficult to detect. Scientists propose new way to reproduce a black hole in the lab by Asian News International Black holes viewed as computational logic gates that recompute gravitationally wired signals into new forms of information provide a logical source for Hawking radiation and other possible 'evaporation signals.
