Light on the Black Hole: How It Connects Relativity, Quantum, and Thermodynamics

Avshalom Elitzur explains why the black hole is not only an extreme cosmic object, but also a profound hint at a new physics that will unify relativity, quantum theory, and thermodynamics.

Physicists: Within a decade, we may see a primordial black hole exploding

New research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst indicates a probability of up to 90% for a primordial black hole to explode in the next decade – an event that could provide direct evidence of Hawking radiation and reveal the full list of all the universe's dark matter.

Everything in the universe is doomed to evaporate - Hawking's radiation theory is not limited to black holes

A team of researchers confirmed Hawking's prediction of evaporating black holes, but extended its application to all large objects in the universe
