What causes the evaporation of black holes?

Allright, first of all sorry the previous blog was so short. Originally these two blogs were going to be one but i had no place to plug in my laptop and the battery was dieing. Enough of that now let us continue. So i have explained Loop Quantum Gravity now let's get into another theory and how its possible that black holes can be evaporated. Quantum Field Theory is the mathematical computations for elementary particle physics. The mathematical computations allow us to analyze the creation and destruction of particles like electrons and protons. The QFT of interactions between charged particles and the electromagnetic field can be demonstrated in Quantum Electrodynamics. We also know that curved space times with the gravitional sources as described by general relativity can be placed by the concept of QFT. Ok so now your probably wondering what the heck does this have to do with black holes. Well QFT and LQG work in tandem in the space time containing a black hole. A model of quantum particles in this sceneario was examined by physicist Stephen Hawkin, his results found that in early times of the black hole not a particle is present but in the later times of its life so to speak it emits a steady stream of particles into infinity. Hence evaporation. Simply stated a black holes emits quantum particles!!! this is stated as a theory called "Hawkin Radiation". The greater the mass of the black hole the lesser the intensity of Hawkin Radiation, where as the lesser the mass of the black hole significant mass and energy are radiated away. This leads to a process in which the energy become so intense that there is a gigantic flash that occurs which evaporates the black hole. Now my thought on this is that this is fascinating however keep this under your hat. We wouldnt want our military to get a hold of this, Harness a small massed black hole and using it. Can we say WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION? Now many of you send me private comments on my blogs but i am asking you post them publicly as i wanted this to be a forum shared with the public, I like doing and sharing my thoughts and theories and you sharing comments but please do it publicly otherwise there is no reason for me to continue with the blogs so if you enjoy them let me know and post comments publicly and i will try to blog more often as the world of quantum physics is large enough to share with everyone. Next blog i will get in depth with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
