I am just an undergraduate student of physics and I would like to know what would be the best (most pedagogical) introduction to Hawking Radiation.

JustStudent said:I guess I have a reasonable knowledge of GR and QFT. At least, I hope so. Anyway, if it is not enough, I can always study more...
DopplerDog said:Also, try Wald's "Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole Thermodynamics", chapter 7.
I think the wikipedia article on Hawking Radiation is pretty nice.JustStudent said:I am just an undergraduate student of physics and I would like to know what would be the best (most pedagogical) introduction to Hawking Radiation.

"In order to preserve total energy, the particle that fell into the black hole must have had a negative energy (with respect to an observer far away from the black hole). "
why can only the negative energy particles fall in? why can't the positive energy particles fall in?

Hawking Radiation is a theory proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking in 1974, which states that black holes emit radiation due to quantum effects near the event horizon.
Hawking Radiation suggests that black holes gradually lose mass and energy due to the emission of particles, ultimately leading to their evaporation over an extremely long period of time.
Unfortunately, Hawking Radiation is too faint to be directly observed or measured by current technology. However, there are ongoing efforts to indirectly detect its effects through experiments and observations.
Hawking Radiation provides a theoretical framework for understanding the behavior of black holes and their eventual fate. It also has important implications for the fields of quantum mechanics and general relativity.
Some physicists have raised concerns about the consistency of Hawking Radiation with other principles and theories, and there is ongoing debate about its exact mechanism and implications. However, it remains a widely accepted and influential concept in the study of black holes.
