It basically seems to say "three people didn't take the test, one person got a zero on both the test and the practice test, and scores on the exam were almost directly correlated to the binary 'did you take the practice exam?'." That last bit is kind of weird. | |

I came up with an alternative interesting way of thinking about it 1 -- just as an electron, in vacuum is surrounded by a cloud of virtual photons and electrons (newscientist.com/article/…) a BH is shielded by a cloud of virttual particles which make its mass seem a little smaller to a distant observer. Occassioanlly some of this shield is consumed by the event horizon, making its mass actually smaller, and resulting in emission of a particle. Disclaimer, I am not an expert and this is just a story. | |
