man, watch the PBS YouTube channel SpaceTime. They're short, informative, and very well done. they dedicate a handful of episodes to getting you ready for Hawking radiation. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗There's lots of different ways to approach explaining the phenomenon of hawking radiation, PBS space time does a good job here: [VIDEO] Ultimately, hawking radiation does not come from within the event horizon, so it can escape into the wider universe.
Read original comment ↗The particle-antiparticle explanation is just an analogy and doesn't really cover what actually happens. I thought this video from PBS Space Time explains it really well while keeping it accessible for non-physicists: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Your description of hawking radiation isn't quite accurate. It's a popular misconception. the actual process is not as easy to understand. see below: [VIDEO] That said, what the OP said about "borrowing" electrons I am not sure about.
