Good Morning,
I have read the other posts on Hawking Radiation, and did not want to post a question to an older post... I just want a quick clarification of a point.
Can you please clarify is this is correct for me? "From reading the other posts, a BH loses mass, not because it is absorbing an anti-particle or a particle with a negative energy, it is losing mass because the energy to create the "real" particle pair from virtual particles takes some energy from the BH. When one escapes, it is taking 1/2 of this energy (more or less) from the BH."
Is my understanding correct?
As a follow up, how much energy is a solar mass BH losing per second doing this? Has anyone ever calculated how much energy a BH loses / second? or is this a ridiculous question?
Thanks
