Comments on: Can Hawking radiation give rise to Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays? http://www.actaphysica.com/post-archive/can-hawking-radiation-give-rise-to-ultra-high-energy-cosmic-rays/ Latest developments in the world of physics Sun, 18 Dec 2011 08:41:53 +0000 hourly 1 By: Dyau http://www.actaphysica.com/post-archive/can-hawking-radiation-give-rise-to-ultra-high-energy-cosmic-rays/comment-page-1/#comment-4 Dyau Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:03:44 +0000 http://www.actaphysica.com/?p=26#comment-4 Thanks for your your suggestion, JTankers. I didn't know 10% physicists doubted the existence of Hawking Radiation. It's never been detected because we do not have the luxury, so far, of playing with black holes in the lab! I am one of those who firmly believe in HR. But yes, you are right, one could use the more politically correct phrasing you have suggested. Do join us at http://www.actaphysica.com !

A 2004 delphi study found 10% average doubt amoung physicists polled that Hawking Radiation would actually be found to exist. Hawking Radiation was theorized about 35 years ago but never detected and several papers refute the theory. HR may exist, it may not. It is generally accepted and expected but unknown for certain.
