Thank you for the great explanations! What do you think which of hawkings other scientific contributions can be explained as intuitiv as hawking radiation?
Would you say the relationship between the black sphere and the actual black hole is analogous to a footprint and the actual foot?
I'm afraid I do not understand. What do you mean by "freely falling worldlines which come to an end in a finite time, and in that finite time, spacetime curvature...
Thank you all for your responses!
I think one of the things that led me of track was a misconception about black holes. So please let my know, whether my current understanding of black holes(alltough massively simplified) is correct: A black hole is a region in space, in which gravity is so...
In simplified terms Hawking Radiation exists, because in the vacuum surrounding a black hole these subatomic-particle-pairs pop into existence and one of these particles manages to escape from the black hole. This stream of escaping particles is called Hawking Radiation, right?(Please correct...
Hello Community,
as mentioned above I am currently gathering information for a documentary about Stephen Hawking scientific contributions. According to "The Guardian" the most important are:
- Singularities in Gravitational Collapse
-Blackhole mechanics
-How Blackholes can vanish
-How Galaxies...
