I’ve seen results of experiments to confirm virtual particles can become permanent, so probably no reason to rely on Hawking radiation.

I have references to the Dynamic Casimir effect converting virtual particles, but went with Hawking radiation, to keep things simple (not meaning Hawking radiation is simple but the picture is .
Colin seeing is believing. Do you have a link to verifiable experimental evidence that virtual particles have been converted in a lab to real particles out of the vacuum,

As the gamma ray photon travels through space it is simultaneously a set of virtual particles- electrons and positrons etc.In the presence of a strong enough magnetic or electric field those virtual particles are forced onto separate tracks and become "real" at the expense of the original photon
