      Congratulations on your publication! Is the discovery of black holes “burping” similar to Hawking radiation or how does it differ?

      Great article.  It’s interesting that the timescale between initial observation and burp is on the order of a year or so. Is it possible that a time dilation effect could be coming into play? (Thinking along the lines of the movie Interstellar.)
