It does not follow from this however that Hawking radiation must be created at the horizon, or a thin region around the black hole. This is simply wrong, as you can convince yourself easily. Go and look up, for example, the stress-energy-tensor of the Hawking radiation.

If the gravitational collapse stops some \(10^{-100000}\) Planck lengths away from the Schwarzschild radius, Hawking radiation stops after a very short time. So, if there will be Hawking radiation after this short time, it has to be emitted from this thin region around the BH, and not at all from somewhere far away. <br /><br />See Paranjape, Padmanabhan, Radiation from collapsing Ilja Schmelzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344206562643658764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-43341475562177379952017-01-09T23:43:50.247-05:002017-01-09T23:43:50.247-05:00Ambi Valent,
