Abstract
The phenomenon of coherent sonoluminescence is considered as a physical vacuum excitation. The state of the light emitted by sonoluminescence and by black hole evaporation is investigated. It is shown that the light state is a squeezed vacuum state. The question is discussed: is the black hole radiation a thermal radiation?
My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful, but when I had to choose one over the other I usually chose the beautiful. H. Weyl, (Gross (1988)).
