Scientists may have found a new way to detect some of the universe's most mysterious objects, primordial black holes (PBHs), ...

“Stephen Hawking didn’t believe this idea and tried to refute it,” explains Marion Cromb, ... which produced electromagnetic radiation. At the same time, ...

During his lifetime, Professor Stephen Hawking came up with a slew of scientific theories, including the idea that black holes emit electromagnetic radiation. His most famous idea, outlined in 1974, ...

♪♪ Stephen Hawking's legacy will clearly be a vital part in the unfolding story of putting gravity and quantum mechanics together. ♪♪ And, as we go forward, everything that we do, in some ...

Such a black hole would not emit thermal radiation—something that Hawking later proposed black holes had to do. In 1986, a physicist named Werner Israel seemed to put the issue to rest when he ...

In 1973, the prominent physicists Stephen Hawking, James Bardeen and Brandon Carter asserted that extremal black holes can’t exist in the real world — that there is simply no plausible way that they ...

For the first time, we've observed a 50-year-old theorem from Stephen Hawking in the natural world. ... (see sidebar), is theorized electromagnetic radiation spontaneously expelled by black holes.

Today, Hawking radiation remains only a hypothetical byproduct of the physics of black holes, as it has never been directly observed. However, an international team consisting of researchers Giacomo ...

In 1974 Stephen Hawking famously claimed that black holes should emit particles as well as absorb them. This so-called "Hawking radiation" has not yet been observed, but now a research group from ...

Stephen Hawking was no stranger to asking and answering big questions ... Hertog compares this to a cosmic fossil like the CMB but in gravitational waves rather than electromagnetic radiation, ...
