On another board I was giving a simplified explanation of what Hawking Radiation was. I can see the threadsteering towards the quantitative aspects, and want to be ready for that.
Can the resident cosmologists here mathematically describe the relationship between a singularity’s mass and it’s event horizon’s surface area?
Also, given the mass and surface area, how much energy and/or mass is radiated as hawking radiation.
No sarcasm intended but I must be missing something. Why couldn’t you just do the math yourself once you had the formula? It’s extremely straightforward. Both G and the mass of the earth are one click away on Google. It’s a question I wonder about a lot of threads on physics here. I mean, I’m no whiz but I once got the basic formulas for relativistic light travel (they involve hyperbolic functions) and I set up a spreadsheet so that I could pop in any number and get any time, speed, or distance calculation. This is just multiplication. It really helps to do the math yourself. You get a much better feel for what the numbers mean by running several examples through the equations than you will by just reading what somebody else calculated.
