How do black holes disappear?
What exactly is Hawking radiation?
Hawking radiation is the process in which particles and antiparticles are created near the event horizon of a black hole. When these particles are created, they can be separated, with one being pulled into the black hole and the other escaping into space. This creates a radiation that causes the black hole to gradually lose energy and shrink in size over an incredibly long period of time.
