Question

Did you know? Stephen Hawking predicted in 1974 that black holes emit FAINT radiation — "Hawking radiation" — causing them to slowly evaporate. A black hole with the mass of the Sun would need ~10⁶⁷ years to disappear completely — more than the current age of the universe. It has never been directly observed.
