  2. Hawking radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation

    Black hole evaporation takes a long time relative to the current age of the universe, for black holes larger than a proton. When particles escape, the black hole loses a small amount of its energy and therefore some of its mass (mass and energy are related by Einstein's equation E = mc 2 ).

  3. Black hole thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_thermodynamics

    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 ...

  4. Black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

    A black hole with the mass of a car would have a diameter of about 10 −24 m and take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity of more than 200 times that of the Sun. Lower-mass black holes are expected to evaporate even faster; for example, a black hole of mass 1 TeV/c 2 would take less than 10 −88 ...

  5. Black hole information paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_information_paradox

    This perspective holds that Hawking's computation is reliable until the final stages of black-hole evaporation, when information suddenly escapes. [30] [31] [44] [12] Another possibility along the same lines is that black-hole evaporation simply stops when the black hole becomes Planck-sized. Such scenarios are called "remnant scenarios".

  6. Cubic equations of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equations_of_state

    The largest and the lowest solution are the gas and liquid reduced volume. In this situation, the Maxwell construction is sometimes used to model the pressure as a function of molar volume. The compressibility factor Z = P V m / R T {\displaystyle Z=PV_{\text{m}}/RT} is often used to characterize non-ideal behavior.

  7. Rotating black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_black_hole

    A rotating black hole is a black hole that possesses angular momentum. In particular, it rotates about one of its axes of symmetry. All celestial objects – planets, stars , galaxies, black holes – spin. [1] [2] [3] The boundaries of a Kerr black hole relevant to astrophysics. Note that there are no physical "surfaces" as such.

  8. Casimir effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect

    Each energy level E n depends on the shape, and so one should write E n (s) for the energy level, and E(s) for the vacuum expectation value. At this point comes an important observation: The force at point p on the wall of the cavity is equal to the change in the vacuum energy if the shape s of the wall is perturbed a little bit, say by δs ...

  9. Evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporation

    Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. [1] A high concentration of the evaporating substance in the surrounding gas significantly slows down evaporation, such as when humidity affects rate of evaporation of water. [ 2 ]
