what is the hawking radiation theory and why ..(continued below)?

Question

are their difficulties cropping up in combining general relativity and quantum theory? like what are the problems arising in the unification of the two theories?

Answer 1

Hawkings radiation is the radiation that a black hole gives off. It is why Black Holes have not become so big as to distroy everything. It also is one of the things which might eventually lead to the combining of general relativity and Quantum Theory.

Answer 2

Hawking radiation is the result of particle-antiparticle pairs forming near the event horizon of a black hole. Normally, these pairs would annihilate each other in order to pay back the energy deficit that they borrowed in order to form. Instead, one of the pair falls into the event horizon, leaving the other to escape. This occurs en masse around the event horizon, and is responsible for the Hawking radiation that "escapes" from a black hole.

General relativity is a theory based on the very large, ie. a relatively smooth spacetime. Quantum mechanics deals with the very small, and predicts a rough, distorted, nasty looking spacetime. General relativity, therefore, does not smoothly join with quantum mechanics, and breaks down at a certain point (situations involving high gravity in small spaces, like singularities.)

Answer 3

I would make mention that originally it was stated that no form of energy could leave a black hole. Then that was changed to that there may be some near the event horizon.

Perhaps you would check out http://timebones.blogspot.com and go through the short writing entitled "The Problem and Repair of Relativity". I would question the possibility of "black holes" existing at all. Check it out. I think you'll agree.

Answer 4

Years ago, the theory of black holes surmised that a black hole would allow the escape of no form of matter (or radiation) from its gravitational attraction. Those physicist opposed to the theory of black holes believed that no such hole could exist. They believed that other phenomenon could explain away black holes. When the black hole theory would fail in some aspect, theorist such as hawking would attempt to explain away the failure with a new property of black holes. Today, black hole theorist have simply given away their entire theory. Today's black hole not only allows Hawking radiation it allows for exploding black holes, and other counter intuitive explanations. Either black holes allow no escape, or by definition they are not black holes.
When the black hole theory failed, those in the black hole community simply adopted the more sensible arguments of the anti black hole community and continued to call the phenomenon the black hole theory.

Answer 5

Hi my name is Hank. I don't have the answer to your question, but you should check out the new "membrane theory" posted on www.space.com. This new theory will make the unification theory to which you refer, obsolete.
