Black holes have a role in natural selection. In fecund theory a collapsing [clarification needed] black hole causes the emergence of a new universe on the "other side", whose fundamental constant parameters (masses of elementary particles, Planck constant, elementary charge, and so forth) may differ slightly from those of the universe where the black hole collapsed.
For black holes, this manifests as Hawking radiation, and the larger question of how the black hole possesses a temperature is part of the topic of black hole thermodynamics. For accelerating particles, this manifests as the Unruh effect , which causes space around the particle to appear to be filled with matter and radiation.
New discoveries are challenging everything known about black holes -- astronomers are beginning to question if they even exist. The latest science tries to explain how they work and what they look like, despite the fact that at the time of this broadcast astronomers had never seen one.
Crows, along with other members of the Corvidae family, are some the smartest animals on Earth. A new study shows that crows, in this case the carrion crow, can count out loud just like human ...
Scientists spotted light 'echo' from behind a black holefor the first time everThe European Space Agency and NASA’s space telescopesobserved extremely bright flares of X-ray light coming from ...
On Thursday, the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy was displayed. The University of Arizona’s Feryal Ozel called it “the gentle giant in the ...
This paper predicted the existence of what are today known as black holes. [1] [7] The term "black hole" was coined decades later, in the fall of 1967, by John Archibald Wheeler at a conference held by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City; [7] it appeared for the first time in print the following year.

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 ...
