Oh, right, looking at your previous posts, I see it is your theme of tonight - carry on.As for Hawking Radiation, it involves black holes, and virtual particles.
What you have to imagine (that is, believe the physicists who make this bullshit up, I swear) is that pairs of particles are popping into existence all the time due to quantum fluctuations. A positron and an electron, say.
If they are in empty space, they soon annihilate themselves again, but if they are next to the horizon of a black hole, one of the pair can be captured while the other escapes. This is hawking radiation.

Also, interestinglythe smaller a black hole is, the greater the rate of evaporation. So a large hole emits very little Hawking radiation, and a tiny little hole will kill itself almost immediately.
