What do you mean by Hawking radiation?

Answer 1

By Hawking Radiation is meant the radiation produced by a black hole when quantum effects are taken into account. It can be understood as a type of virtual particle pair production near the event horizon of a black hole in which one of the two falls into the hole, allowing the other to escape into space.

Answer 2

Hawking radiation is thermal radiation thought to be emitted by black holes due to quantum effects. It is named after British physicist Stephen Hawking who worked out the theoretical argument for its existence in 1974. Hawking's discovery became the first convincing insight into quantum gravity. However, the existence of Hawking radiation remains controversial.

Answer 3

It is a quantum phenomenon that will allow a black hole to dissipate. A positron electron pair for example is created just outside the black hole which is allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. One of the particles escapes and the other falls into the block hole. The energy for the pair has to be "paid" for and the black hole supplies the energy through quantum tunneling. Try here;
