  2. Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Holes_and_Baby...

    This book is a collection of essays and lectures written by Hawking, mainly about the makeup of black holes, and why they might be nodes from which other universes grow. Hawking discusses black hole thermodynamics , special relativity , general relativity , and quantum mechanics .

  3. Black hole cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_cosmology

    A black hole cosmology (also called Schwarzschild cosmology or black hole cosmological model) is a cosmological model in which the observable universe is the interior of a black hole. Such models were originally proposed by theoretical physicist Raj Kumar Pathria , [ 1 ] and concurrently by mathematician I. J. Good .

  4. Black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

    The term "black hole" was used in print by Life and Science News magazines in 1963, and by science journalist Ann Ewing in her article " 'Black Holes' in Space", dated 18 January 1964, which was a report on a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science held in Cleveland, Ohio. [60]

  5. Cosmological natural selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_natural_selection

    Black holes have a role in natural selection. In fecund theory a collapsing [clarification needed] black hole causes the emergence of a new universe on the "other side", whose fundamental constant parameters (masses of elementary particles, Planck constant, elementary charge, and so forth) may differ slightly from those of the universe where the black hole collapsed.

  6. Porphyrion (radio galaxy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyrion_(radio_galaxy)

    The W. M. Keck Observatory on Hawaii was used to show that Porphyrion is 7.5 billion light-years from Earth, and dates to a time when the universe was 6.3 billion years old. The observations also revealed that Porphyrion emerged from a radiative-mode active black hole, as opposed to one in a jet-mode state.

    The Thorne–Hawking–Preskill bet was a public bet on the outcome of the black hole information paradox made in 1997 by physics theorists Kip Thorne and Stephen Hawking on the one side, and John Preskill on the other, according to the document they signed 6 February 1997, [1] as shown in Hawking's 2001 book The Universe in a Nutshell.

  8. OJ 287 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OJ_287

    In order to reproduce all the known outbursts, the rotation of the primary black hole is calculated to be 38% of the maximum allowed rotation for a Kerr black hole. [10] [4] The companion's orbit is decaying via the emission of gravitational radiation and it is expected to merge with the central black hole within approximately 10,000 years. [11 ...

  9. GW190521 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW190521

    GW190521 is a significant discovery due to the masses of the resulting large black hole and of one or both of the smaller constituent black holes. Stellar evolution theory predicts that a star cannot collapse itself into a black hole of more than about 65 M ☉, leaving a black hole mass gap above 65 M ☉. The 85 +21 −14 M ☉ [note 3] and ...
