Sender: Hook at CMU-CS-A I recall that recently there has been a theory proposed that, in fact, black holes lose mass over time (albeit, very slowly). I remember not quite understanding the details -- but, it had something to do with the creation of particle/anti-particle pairs. One of the particles escapes. Does anyone know any more about this? Can anyone explain it to me? --Jon
