Question

Did you know? Stephen Hawking predicted in 1974 that black holes — thought to be inescapable — actually emit very faint radiation and eventually evaporate. Hawking radiation has not been directly observed because it is so weak, but it is theoretically widely accepted.

Stephen Hawking predicted in 1974 that black holes — thought to be inescapable — actually emit very faint radiation and eventually evaporate. Hawking radiation has not been directly observed because it is so weak, but it is theoretically widely accepted.

Stephen Hawking voorspelde in 1974 dat zwarte gaten — geacht te worden onontkoombaar — toch heel langzaam straling uitzenden en uiteindelijk verdampen. Hawking-straling is nog niet rechtstreeks waargenomen omdat het zo zwak is, maar het wordt theoretisch breed geaccepteerd.
