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 ...
By dimensional analysis, the life span of a black hole can be shown to scale as the cube of its initial mass, [15] [16]: 176–177 and Hawking estimated that any black hole formed in the early universe with a mass of less than approximately 10 12 kg would have evaporated completely by the present day.

Stephen Hawking's purported solution to the black hole unitarity paradox. Hawking and unitarity: a July 2005 discussion of the information loss paradox and Stephen Hawking's role in it; The Hawking Paradox - BBC Horizon documentary (2005) "Horizon" The Hawking Paradox at IMDb A Black Hole Mystery Wrapped in a Firewall Paradox
In 1974, Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes might not be the bottomless pits we imagine them to be. According to Hawking's calculations, some information might escape black holes in the ...
Stephen Hawking never stopped trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding black holes -- in fact, he was still working to solve one of them shortly before his death. Now, his last research paper ...
Stephen Hawking’s suggestion that black holes “leak” radiation left physicists with a problem they have been attempting to solve for 51 years.
The Thorne–Hawking–Preskill bet was a public bet on the outcome of the black hole information paradox made in 1997 by physics theorists Kip Thorne and Stephen Hawking on the one side, and John Preskill on the other, according to the document they signed 6 February 1997, [1] as shown in Hawking's 2001 book The Universe in a Nutshell.
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 ...
