One of Stephen Hawking's most famous theorems has been proven right, using ripples in space-time caused by the merging of two distant black holes. The black hole area theorem, which...
In 1971, Stephen Hawking proposed the area theorem, which set off a series of fundamental insights about black hole mechanics. The theorem predicts that the total area of a black hole’s event horizon — and all black holes in the universe, for that matter — should never decrease.
Theoretical physicists Stephen Hawking and Sir Roger Penrose developed Einstein's work to create theories of the universe and new ideas about black holes.
There's a lot we still don't know about black holes, but these light-gobbling behemoths would be even more mysterious if Stephen Hawking hadn't plumbed their inky depths.
Using observations of gravitational waves, physicists at Cornell, MIT and three other institutions have for the first time confirmed Stephen Hawking’s area theorem of black holes, which states their event horizons should never shrink.
A central law for black holes predicts that the total area of their event horizons – the boundary beyond which nothing can ever escape – should never shrink. This law is Hawking’s area theorem, named after physicist Stephen Hawking, who derived the theorem in 1971.
Hawking’s theory suggested that the information in objects entering a black hole would disappear and be lost forever. This contradicted a basic law of quantum mechanics, which demands that information relating to an object is never lost, and gave rise to “the information paradox”.
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 ...
Now, one of the most famous black hole laws, predicted by physicist Stephen Hawking, has been confirmed with gravitational waves. According to the black hole area theorem, developed by...
Stephen Hawking suggested black holes "leak " and evaporate away — scientists could use "morsels" launched from catastrophic black hole collisions to prove it.
