Hawking Temperature Calculator

The ether horizon at r = rs — where inflow velocity equals c — emits thermal radiation at the Hawking temperature (Theorem 3.7, Eq 3.220). Virtual ZPF fluctuations are torn apart by the velocity gradient; one component escapes as real radiation. For rotating black holes, the Kerr correction (Eq 3.224) reduces TH toward zero at the extremal limit.

0 = Schwarzschild, 1 = extremal (maximal rotation)

The Ether Mechanism

The ether flows radially inward at velocity v(r) = c√(rs/r). At the horizon, v = c. The ZPF modes of the ether — virtual fluctuations that form the vacuum ground state — are split by the velocity gradient: one component is swept inward, the other escapes as real thermal radiation.

The temperature depends only on the surface gravity κ (the velocity gradient at the horizon), giving TH = &hbar;κ/(2πkBc). For Kerr black holes, spin reduces κ toward zero at the extremal limit, suppressing the radiation.
