In simplified terms Hawking Radiation exists, because in the vacuum surrounding a black hole these subatomic-particle-pairs pop into existence and one of these particles manages to escape from the black hole. This stream of escaping particles is called Hawking Radiation, right?(Please correct me) Now my questions:
1. Why can it escape? Wouldn't that mean that the escaping particles velocity is above the speed of light?
2. How does the gravitation of a black hole affect this production of particle-pairs? How is it different there compared to other vacuums?
