  • $\begingroup$ I don’t believe that we understand Hawking radiation well enough to answer this question, since we’ve never observed it, and we don’t have a working theory of quantum gravity that we can use to make exact theoretical predictions. Just for example, a proposed solution to the black hole information paradox is that the “lost” information may modulate the Hawking radiation in some way. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @MikeScott The variation would implicitly be calculated with respect to whatever was used to model the existing lifetime calculations; answerer's choice if there are several (the wikipedia mentions some calculations that depended on the mass and number of neutrino varieties). We also don't know if those are correct or exactly what makes them happen, but they could clearly be done. But if even that's still not enough, an answer explaining that would also be welcome. $\endgroup$
