In the above article, a mechanism is suggested whereby a massive body gains mass from quantum fluctuations.
This seems to contradict Hawking Radiation, where interaction with virtual particles result in a (very) massive body radiating away energy!
Why would a neutron star gather mass from the vacuum energy, but a black hole shed mass via the same interaction?
Thanks. :)
