Yes, I know, but realistically, many (most?) people just want brief, general information, which is what the introductory paragraph is for, no? So I’d argue it should say “hypothesised” or “predicted” somewhere in the, ideally, first sentence.
Okay, might have worded that better. It says “The radiation was not predicted by previous models” and “is predicted to be extremely faint”, not “it is predicted to exist” - and also “[it] is many orders of magnitude below […]” which sounds like a statement of fact. I realise this may be nitpicky but I don’t know if people who don’t know anything about the subject would interpret that as “we don’t really know if it even exists yet”.
They don’t. They do evaporate though.
That’s a hypothesis though, right? They haven’t detected any yet afaik (which the article could make clearer in its introduction).
Yeah, it mentions it at the end under the “Experimental observation” section.

It does say that it is a “model” and “predicted” in the first paragraph.
