Jan 7, 2014 at 17:07 comment added Gerald Virtual particles form spontaneously and usually live for a very short time, less than about 1e-22 seconds, details see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_particle. Only half of the radiation is in the inside, the outside (anti-)particle can become Hawking radiation. A particle looking virtual from an infalling coordiante system can look real from outside, because of extreme time dilation near the event horizon.
Jan 7, 2014 at 13:47 comment added user748 But, when the Hawking radiation is on the inside, everything else coming form inside, how can a particle, even if it is virtual, form on the outside? Also, how exactly are they 'virtual'?
