However, we can see that stars are eaten by black holes, and then can be partially released back years later, so it's proven that 1) «an event horizon» exists, 2) matter can pass the «event horizon» in both directions, 3) light cannot pass the «event horizon» in one direction.
I do not introduce a new physics, like a «singularity», without any evidence. Occam's razor is in my hands now.
The Wikipedia article is fairly loose with language, but at any rate Hawking radiation does not originate past the event horizon itself but just before it.
I suppose it's a philosophical matter, but it seems legitimate to me to view this as matter moving out of the event horizon, even if the mechanism of that motion is very indirect. One's answer would depend on whether you consider a photon that travels to your eyes from the sun after reflecting from a mirror to be the same photon that was originally emitted by the sun, because it carries that photon's energy and information, even if it was actually absorbed and then coherently re-emitted by the mirror after a staggeringly complicated sea of particle-particle interactions.
Of course, but it looks like this accretion disk was below the «event horizon», because speed is much higher, 50% of speed of light, instead of typical 10%.
Occam’s razor absolutely doesn’t predict that the weird thing that breaks physics occurs twice and then precipitates a crystal.
