Question about hawking radiation?


I've just read something about the experiment

and my question is


why scientists claim the Hawking Radiation is definitely right that a mini black hole would absolutely evaporate?????

What if the Hawking Radiation is wrong, and the mini black hole created become larger??!

Answer 1

A mini black hole lacks the ability to consume other particles, as its gravitational attraction is no stronger than an ordinary particle, it has zero volume, and because there is a limit on how close particles can get without being forced together into a singularity. A massive black hole is only powerful as long as it has matter and energy to feed on; the influx of stuff forces more and more matter and energy into the singularity as it simply has nowhere else to go. A micro black hole doesn't have enough gravitational attraction to force this reaction. When a singularity isn't "fed" it can't continue to occupy zero volume (only intense pressure allows this) and as such it would evaporate into what is called Hawking radiation.



It's important to note that while Professor Hawking's life is seized upon as a story of the triumph of the human spirit, most of his work is seen as dubious by the astrophysics community and is generally viewed more as flights of fancy than actual science. Hawking radiation is one of the few theories of his to be generally accepted by the community.

Answer 2

There seems to be some controversy about this whole thing lately regarding the start-up of the (Hadron?) collider. There has even been a lawsuit filed to stop/postpone it's start-up, claiming that it will create a black hole that will NOT evaporate/dissipate. Personally I don't know the accuracy of the claim or more details.

Answer 3

If Hawking radiation is wrong then we'll all die.
