The image features a theoretical background on an experiment regarding Rocher evaporation, discussing the Hawking and Schwinger effects in relation to particle production. Two images are presented: one shows a bowl of chocolate treats and the other contains handwritten notes about the experiment.

My colleague Michael Wondrak has conducted an evaporation experiment of Ferrero-Rocher chocolate confection and compared it to our predictions for evaporation via a Hawking-like gravitational pair production, that we published recently https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024arXiv241014734F/abstract
Unfortunately, the results don’t quite match the theory. Evaporation happened much quicker. Not sure why 🤔.
