Could someone please explain for me how it is that a Black Hole is Blasting out into the Galaxy # 3C321 as is.

Question

I have always known that a Black Hole pulls in mater over it's Event Horizon towards it's Singularity. Does this have anything to do with Hawking's Paradox?

Answer 1

Hi. It is not the black hole that is radiating, it is the jets at the poles where magnetic field lines are at their weakest. Material shoots out of these. http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/07_releases/press_121707.html

Answer 2

Hawking Radiation is a flawed theory in my mind. He claims that a pair of particles appear from nowhere, near the event horizon of a black hole, they split,one vanishes into the black hole and the other escapes into space and is detected as heat energy. This seems to be ludicrous, how could such a small amount of heat be detected from anywhere near a black hole? The particle that entered the black hole adds to its mass, there is no way this can considered to be a form of evaporation of the black hole. You are correct, a black hole draws everything within its gravity well into the mass of the black hole. What is seen here is matter on a huge scale being absorbed from stellar masses in the proximity of the black hole, X rays escape into space before being pulled into the event horizon.

Answer 3

Nothing to do with Hawking Radiation but instead with the large quantities of material being sucked in towards the black hole. All this stuff is accelerated to near light speed which causes it to generate huge amounts of x-radiation.
