My hypothesis states that antimatter, like matter, has POSITIVE
inertial (and gravitational) mass, but a REPULSIVE gravitational field
proportional to its inertial mass.

And Hawking radiation can be explained by the presence of virtual
particle-anti particle pairs near the event horizon of the black hole
(the particle/anti-particle pairs being a consequence of QFT).  In
this model, the anti-particle (i. e. antimatter particle) occasionally
falls in and the particle remains outside.

Now suppose my hypothesis were wrong.

Then the anti-particle, which is just antimatter, has a POSITIVE
(attractive) gravitational field.  So if the anti-particle fell in,
the black hole wouldn't lose mass, it would just become heavier.  And
if the black hole isn't losing mass, there is no energy coming out of
it, which means no Hawking radiation.

However, under my hypothesis, the antimatter particle of the pair
falls in, and the black hole loses mass.  Energy comes out.
Everything's cool!

Of course, no one has ever observed Hawking radiation :(

Hawking is crazy.
Proof:
Thirty years ago it was my round, the venue was Sussex U.,
Hawking joined our group on his gurney, I offered to buy him a pint.
He declined.
That is not what an Englishman does unless he is mentally unbalanced.
Hawking makes no sense and neither does your hypothesis.

What did you offer him? Bud Light?
