Answer to Question 1

Scientists surmise that if a particle-antiparticle pair came into existence near an event horizon and one particle crossed the horizon before they could annihilate, the source of energy for the surviving particle would be the black hole itself. This is called Hawking radiation. The theoretical grounding of this idea is strong, but it has not yet been observed.

Answer to Question 2

B

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
