Why is a black hole's Hawking radiation temperature inversely proportional to its mass/size?
As a black hole shrinks in volume and mass, shouldn't its temperature get lower? Shouldn't it evaporate more slowly?
Naively, (very naively), I think that with a smaller surface area (as per its ...

What was the energy/wavelength/frequency of the CMB when first emitted/released?
Given the z redshift of 1089, and the temperature difference between then and now of about 1089, I tried scaling the ev, freq. and wavelength by 1089....
Is that right?
I get a freq. of about 240 ...
