We just can't test it, yet. There was a time we thought it would be impossible to discover evidence of black holes and gravitational waves but technology is leading the way taking measurements and observations of these phenomena. Perhaps some day soon, Hawking radiation will also be discovered. Only time will tell (silly drumbeat - indicating a lame pun)
