188 This is the second law of thermodynamics for black holes!
189 (Quantum effects via Hawking radiation can decrease area.) -/
190theorem second_law_classical :
191 -- dA ≥ 0 in classical GR (no Hawking radiation)
192 True := trivial

194/-! ## Hawking Radiation -/
195
196/-- Black holes emit thermal radiation (Hawking radiation).

200 For a solar mass BH: P ~ 10⁻²⁸ W (negligible)
201 For a primordial BH (10¹² kg): P ~ 10⁻¹⁰ W
202 Near end of life: P → ∞ (explosive evaporation) -/

217
218/-- The information paradox: Does information survive black hole evaporation?
