stormwyrm writes:In 1974, Stephen Hawking, using arguments that combined the two pillars of modern physics, General Relativity and quantum field theory, showed that black holes should not be entirely black but would have to emit radiation that would eventually cause them to evaporate. In 2023 however, physicists Michael F. Wondrak, Walter D. van Sujilekom, and Heino Falcke showed that Hawking radiation might not even require an event horizon: spacetime curvature alone is all that's required. They further refined their arguments in a follow-up paper that argues that even a neutron star might evaporate on the time scale similar to a stellar mass black hole (10 years), an object like our earth's moon 10 years, and interstellar gas clouds some 10 years. If this is correct, even single protons would be subject to this phenomenon, and they would also take something like 10 years to decay as well (this is a far longer timescale than proton decay predictions from Grand Unified Theories, which posit proton decay at about 10 to 10 years). Ethan Siegel has an article that explores this intriguing possibility:
