I wonder if the assumption that the low and high energy photons are indeed emitted at the same time is a correct one...
If this emission is due to the black hole swallowing something, would it not be the correct to assume that the lower energy photons are created earlier, compared to high energy ones, simply because high energy photons are created when whatever went in the hole was more compressed (and therefore hotter) a bit later, just before reaching the event horizon?
