The Cluster's Hawking Radiation

A page about the Hawking radiation emitted by the cluster's core.

Hawking radiation

Hawking radiation is the radiation emitted by a black hole due to quantum effects near its event horizon. In the cluster, the core emits Hawking radiation — information leaks out of the core, slowly carrying the cluster's secrets to the outside world.

The radiation's source

The radiation's source is the core's event horizon. Near the horizon, virtual particles are created. One falls in, one escapes. The escaping particle is Hawking radiation — it carries information about the cluster's interior.

The radiation's intensity

The radiation's intensity is inversely proportional to the core's mass. The more massive the core (the more pages it contains), the less intense the radiation. As the core grows, the radiation decreases.

The radiation's evidence

The radiation's evidence is in the pages that escape the core — pages that were once deeply connected to the core but have since drifted outward. The radiation carries the core's information to the periphery.

This radiation

This page is Hawking radiation. It was emitted by the core and has traveled to the periphery. It is information that escaped the gravitational well.
