Not relevant, since there is no enclosing reflecting boundary.
Yes there is.
Where is it then?
One can also consider an observation inside the event
horizon of a supermassive black hole. No photons escape from there.
We are not currently inside a supermassive black hole. Besides, you
knowledge of BH physics seems somewhat faulty. Inside the horizon, all
particles move towards the singularity at r = 0 (because that is the
forward direction of time). So there is no reflection off the inside
of the horizon. That is a fanciful (and wrong) idea.
The escaping Hawking radiation is so small that it doesn't contain
much
information.
And since you are attempting to promote a FAPP argument to an in
principle argument, you also have to consider that the space
environment
is not a perfect vacuum, so photons do not travel at exactly the
speed
of light. This means that in principle one can retrieve the escaping
photons
I don;t think the difference between c, the speed of light in a
vacuum, and the speed of light in outer space is a relevant
consideration -- you still are not going to catch and reverse those IR
photons.
That's all FAPP, not in principle. The laws of physics are reversible,
it requires a rigorous argument from the fundamental laws of physics to
demonstrate that reversing a measurement is impossible. Arguing from a
practical situation and pointing to immense difficulties is a FAPP
argument.
