According to the theory of the very
tiny, in empty space there are pairs
of subatomic particles that emerge out
of the void, exist for a tiny moment and
then destroy each other.
This pair of particles is like yin and
yang; night and day;
opposites that would not exist without
each other. One has positive mass, and the
other, has negative mass. But Hawking
asked, what would happen if this pair of
particles bumped up against the black
hole?
