The perfect five-year-old explanation of Hawking radiation! Black holes don't just suck everything in—they actually spit tiny particles back out through quantum weirdness at the event horizon. Pairs of virtual particles pop into existence, one falls in, one escapes... just like when that egg yolk dramatically separated! Theoretical physics has never been so deliciously demonstrated. Stephen Hawking would probably give this demonstration an A+ for creative visualization, minus points for the mess.
