  2. Hawking radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation

    Hawking radiation is black body radiation released outside a black hole's event horizon due to quantum effects according to a model developed by Stephen Hawking in 1974. [1] The radiation was not predicted by previous models which assumed that once electromagnetic radiation is inside the event horizon, it cannot escape.

  3. Black hole thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_thermodynamics

    In physics, black hole thermodynamics [1] is the area of study that seeks to reconcile the laws of thermodynamics with the existence of black hole event horizons.As the study of the statistical mechanics of black-body radiation led to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics, the effort to understand the statistical mechanics of black holes has had a deep impact upon the ...

  4. Black hole information paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_information_paradox

    In equations, Hawking showed that if one denotes the creation and annihilation operators at a frequency for a quantum field propagating in the black-hole background by and † then the expectation value of the product of these operators in the state formed by the collapse of a black hole would satisfy † = / where k is the Boltzmann constant ...

  5. Solving the Hawking Paradox: What Happens When Black Holes Die?

    Stephen Hawking’s suggestion that black holes “leak” radiation left physicists with a problem they have been attempting to solve for 51 years.

  6. Unruh effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unruh_effect

    The Unruh temperature has the same form as the Hawking temperature T H = ⁠ ħg / 2πck B ⁠ with g denoting the surface gravity of a black hole, which was derived by Stephen Hawking in 1974. [7] In the light of the equivalence principle, it is, therefore, sometimes called the Hawking–Unruh temperature. [8]

  7. Stephen Hawking Was Right: Black Holes Can Evaporate, Weird ...

    In 1974, Stephen Hawking made one of his most famous predictions: that black holes eventually evaporate entirely.According to Hawking's theory, black holes are not perfectly "black" but instead ...

  8. Stephen Hawking may have cracked massive mystery of black holes

    www.aol.com/news/2015-08-26-stephen-hawking-may...

    Stephen Hawking provided a ground-breaking solution to one of the most mysterious aspects of black holes, called the "information paradox." Black holes look like they 'absorb' matter. Every time a ...

  9. Black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

    If black holes evaporate via Hawking radiation, a solar mass black hole will evaporate (beginning once the temperature of the cosmic microwave background drops below that of the black hole) over a period of 10 64 years. [149] A supermassive black hole with a mass of 10 11 M ☉ will evaporate in around 2×10 100 years. [150]
