Jun 18, 2021 · One of Stephen Hawking's most famous theorems has been proven right, using ripples in space-time caused by the merging of two distant black holes. The black hole area theorem, which...
Mar 12, 2021 · Stephen Hawking is a key figure in the history of black holes. We still don' t know everything about them, but, what has the physicist discovered from now?
Jul 1, 2021 · Physicists at MIT and elsewhere have used gravitational waves to observationally confirm Hawking’s black hole area theorem for the first time. This computer simulation shows the collision of two black holes that produced the gravitational wave signal, GW150914.
Theoretical physicists Stephen Hawking and Sir Roger Penrose developed Einstein's work to create theories of the universe and new ideas about black holes.
Apr 5, 2024 · Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein calculated the entropy of a black hole in the 1970s, but it took physicists until now to figure out the quantum effects that make the formula work.
Mar 14, 2024 · Stephen Hawking’s paradoxical finding that black holes don’t live forever has profound, unresolved implications for the quest for unifying theories of reality.
Jun 22, 2024 · Stephen Hawking (born January 8, 1942, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England—died March 14, 2018, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire) was an English theoretical physicist whose theory of exploding black holes drew upon both relativity theory and quantum mechanics. He also worked with space-time singularities.
Mar 15, 2018 · Hawking worked out this idea in 1974, which is why this hypothesized black-hole light is known as Hawking radiation, or Hawking-Bekenstein radiation. Nobody has spotted such emissions yet, but...
Nov 18, 2013 · Highlights of a talk by Stephen Hawking, director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge, covering black holes, M theory, the past and...
Jul 1, 2021 · A central law for black holes predicts that the area of their event horizons — the boundary beyond which nothing can ever escape — should never shrink. This law is Hawking’s area theorem, named after physicist Stephen Hawking, who derived the theorem in 1971.
