Abstract
As first shown by Hawking in 1975 [1], quantum theory predicts that a black hole emits thermal radiation. The possibility of observing this thermal or “Hawking” radiation from, say, a solar mass black hole is impractically small: the entire black hole would emit only a few hundred quanta per second, and this is much too small of a flux to possibly be observed at astronomical distances.
