The passage around this formula
Every clock reading below is t , the distant, asymptotically flat coordinate time an outside observer’s own wristwatch registers while radiation is collected — never the compass’s or the qubit’s proper time along its brief infall, which ends at the horizon in a comparatively negligible interval, and never a local near-horizon proper time either, which redshifts against t by the same factor that makes the Hawking temperature look freezing from a safe distance and searing up close [ 7 ] .
