Where can I find a free digital copy of The Large Scale Structure of Space-time by Hawking and Ellis?
Hawking & Ellis (1973) is a groundbreaking paper that revolutionized our understanding of the universe by introducing new concepts and theories about black holes, gravitational collapse, and the laws of thermodynamics.
There are several websites that offer free PDF downloads of Hawking & Ellis (1973), such as arXiv, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar. Additionally, many universities and research institutions have online databases where you can access the paper for free.
In Hawking & Ellis (1973), the authors present a mathematical model of a black hole and explore its properties, including its event horizon, singularity, and entropy. They also introduce the concept of Hawking radiation, which explains how black holes can emit particles and eventually evaporate.
Hawking & Ellis (1973) laid the foundation for modern theories of black holes and their role in the universe. It also sparked further research and discussions about the laws of thermodynamics, the nature of space and time, and the possibility of a unified theory of physics.
While Hawking & Ellis (1973) is widely regarded as a groundbreaking paper, there have been some controversies surrounding certain aspects of the paper, such as the calculation of black hole entropy and the existence of Hawking radiation. However, these controversies have sparked further research and discussions, leading to a deeper understanding of the universe.
