You said Black Hole- I think that is lewd. I am going to tell E, and she will probably report you. I will watch, and savor.

The Uncertainty Principle of Quantum Mechanics dictates that black holes produce a small amount of radiation. This is because the position of a particle cannot be precisely pinned down. Consequently a high-energy particle close the event horizon can "tunnel" through the event horizon to the outside and then escape. This is per Stephen Hawking and I trust the dood. So there. They do radiate. And what's physics doing in this thread anyway. It is useful, mostly non-controversial, and its questions can actually be settled. Everything this thread isn't.
