Theoretically speaking, a black hole is a region of space-time from which nothing can escape; including light (according to many respectable astronomers), but in the case of world renowned author and English physicist, Stephen Hawking, it can be possible for a black hole to emit light. This occurs when the particle and anti-particle separate. One of them gets pulled into the black hole, while the other opposite particle shoots out into space causing it to not only emit light but make the black hole lose mass. Although these findings have been questioned, many researchers agree with the theory and its mathematical equations to prove it.
The production of the virtual particles, or pair production*, is the creation of an elementary particle and its antiparticle. This occurs around very strong electric fields that are so physically powerful, like that surrounding the event horizon, that it will be energetically forced to create pairs; a positron (positive electron) with an electron......
