Hawking’s seminal result, that black holes behave as black bodies with a non-vanishing temperature, suggests that black holes should evaporate. However, Hawking’s derivation is incomplete, as it neglects the backreaction between radiation and geometry. In this talk, we will present a novel approach to black hole perturbation theory that incorporates backreaction and is valid to arbitrary order. The applications to the physics of evaporating black holes is discussed, and we explore potential experimental implications. The intention is to eventually derive corrections to semi-classical computations in the literature and to determine the fate of evaporating black holes.
