A simplified explanation of Hawking radiation is the simultaneous creation of a particle-antiparticle pair at the [[event horizon]]. Under normal conditions, this particle dual will, after spontaneous creation, follow a path that leads to their mutual destruction. At the [[event horizon]], however, one particle falls into the black hole, while the other escapes outside of the [[event horizon]]. Following the law of conservation of energy, the particle inside the event horizon must contain negative energy (from an observer outside of the event horizon). Thus, the particle that escape is emitted as radiation.
