Black-hole evaporation
= Black-hole evaporation
<Black-hole evaporation> is mass loss through <Hawking radiation>. For a large isolated <Schwarzschild black hole>, the leading mass dependence is $dM/dt\propto-M^{-2}$ and the evaporation timescale is proportional to $M^3$. This semiclassical scaling cannot determine the endpoint when the curvature reaches quantum-gravitational scales.
