An observation, it seems a lot of the big theories in physics are mostly math and thin on observational data. I understand the necessity. It's pretty hard to observe a black hole and run tests on one after all.
It took us to the space age to start getting a lot of practical observational proof of relativity for example. Now its all confirmed relativity for now but for a lot of these other things we are sorely lacking. Hawking radiation is a good example of that as you pointed out. How do you even get observational data on hawking radiation without the starship Enterprise anyways?
