There is something else going on also however. It is not a one-way process.

Hawking Radiation is generated by that black hole. What goes in must come out.

At best, it ensures that yes, these black holes are unstable and degenerate into boson soup. At worst it will at least offset the growth rate in some way and buy us some time.



Wait! This isn't a Parachute, this is a Backpack!

    Yes... I know, in fact Black Holes are pretty complex.

    -> Black holes with masses less than about 10^11 kg can evaporate in less than the age of the Universe*. A comforting thought;-)

    Well mankind will probably be extinct in much less time anyway...

    But IMHO a lot of "facts" on Black Holes are rather speculative. Theoretical physics going wild. The Math involved is often horrible. (Again IMHO).
