Hawking Radiation - What Is It?
Hawking showed that a black hole could emit photons and gravitons, the particles that carry electromagnetic energy and gravitational energy respectively. Normally, these particles don't have mass. They don't interact with the Higgs field. But what Hawking figured out is that the less massive a black hole is, the hotter the temperature of the radiation that it spits out. And since mass and energy are two sides of the same coin, E equals MC squared,. Which means that heat can be translated into mass.
