Hacker News Stories and Comments
All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this video.Your description of hawking radiation isn't quite accurate. It's a popular misconception. the actual process is not as easy to understand. see below:That said, what the OP said about "borrowing" electrons I am not sure about.
⬐ at_a_removeIt's more of an accounting deal. There's mass where there didn't used to be, and it was pretty near here so ... we gotta make the books balance.
I hope this helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPKj0YnKANw
⬐ andrewflnrActually... yes, which just makes it worse that something about that presenter's style really rubs me the wrong way. Do they have their content in text format somewhere? Anyway, thanks!⬐ guerrillaI'm sure somone's made transcripts but I have't come across them yet
man, watch the PBS YouTube channel SpaceTime. They're short, informative, and very well done. they dedicate a handful of episodes to getting you ready for Hawking radiation.
⬐ stallmaniteSeconding that recommendation. The clear explanations allowed me to grasp several concepts that I've been trying to understand for decades, for example the "one-electron universe"⬐ westurner"Why Quantum Information is Never Destroyed" re: determinism and T-Symmetry ("time-reversal symmetry") by PBS SpaceTime https://youtu.be/HF-9Dy6iB_4Classical information is 'collapsed' quantum information, so that would mean that classical information is never lost either.
There appear to be multiple solutions for Navier-Stokes; i.e. somewhat chaotic.
If white holes are on the other side of black holes, Hawking radiation would not account for the entirety of the collected energy/information. Is our visible universe within a white hole? Is everything that's ever been embedded in the sidewall of a black hole shredder?
Maybe even recordings of dinosaurs walking; or is that lemurs walking in reverse?
Do 1/n, 1/∞, and n/∞ approach a symbolic limit where scalars should not be discarded; with piecewise operators?
⬐ dharmabI love their dedication to building up over multiple episodes instead of dumbing things down every time.
The particle-antiparticle explanation is just an analogy and doesn't really cover what actually happens. I thought this video from PBS Space Time explains it really well while keeping it accessible for non-physicists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPKj0YnKANw
⬐ stcredzeroAnd that video is good background info for the one on the Unruh Effect, which I found truly mind-blowing!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cj6oiFDEXc
Any time we accelerate, we produce a distant effective event horizon behind us! Also, "The Unruh" would make for a good name for aliens in Star Control!
There's lots of different ways to approach explaining the phenomenon of hawking radiation, PBS space time does a good job here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPKj0YnKANwUltimately, hawking radiation does not come from within the event horizon, so it can escape into the wider universe.
