As I understand it, the Hawking radiation is produced when a pair particle-antiparticle are produced at a place close to the event horizon of a black hole, so that one of them, energy-negative for a distant observer, is swallowed by the hole, and the other appears as 'black hole radiation'. I believe that, at the moment of the 'split', the probability of a particle or antiparticle falling into the black hole is the same as the probability of escaping from it. If it is so, then why Hawking says that black holes vanish with time? They should remain stable...
