Hawking radiation. Good point. Hasn’t been observed. I wonder if the spin of a black hole could be sufficiently fast to counter the gravity and to allow a sub-light escape velocity. It would probably have to sping at .9999 c, or something.

I wonder if the spin of a black hole could be sufficiently fast to counter the gravity and to allow a sub-light escape velocity. It would probably have to spin at .9999 c, or something.

I've often wondered how the emissions that escape from the poles of black holes do that. It seems that the gravity around a black hole should be so great, that nothing could actually emit from them.

The answer is beyond my knowledge base on the subject.
