When two black holes collide, they release gravitational waves that allow scientists to determine their mass and spin. In January 2025, LIGO detected GW250114, the clearest signal yet of a black hole merger, providing new insights into these mysterious cosmic giants. Credit: Maggie Chiang for Simons Foundation

Hawking was right: New data confirms black holes never shrink

The sharpest and brightest gravitational signal ever measured, GW250114, allows the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA collaboration to test Hawking's surface theorem and Einstein's prediction with unprecedented precision. Black holes "ring" after
The early universe immediately after the big bang, with a chaotic background of energy and particles. Small, dense black holes, some the size of an atom, are scattered throughout the image. These black holes are described with a "color charge" aura, symbolizing the unique property of quarks and gluons. Around the black holes is a cosmic landscape of quark-gluon plasma, with hints of the beginnings of proton and neutron formation. The image was prepared using DALEE and is not a scientific image

Fifty years ago, physicist Stephen Hawking proposed that dark matter might be a population of black holes, which may have formed shortly after the Big Bang. They also existed for a short time but had an impact on

The width of each letter is 10 microns, about a tenth of the width of a human hair. At a ceremony held at the Center for Theoretical Cosmology in Cambridge on January 8, Intel gave a unique birthday gift to Prof. Stephen Hawking, who is seventy years old. The gift is a 300mm piece of silicon commonly used to make Intel's chips, stamped with the greeting "Happy Stephen Hawking" hundreds of times. The greeting was "printed" using Intel's 32nm manufacturing technology. The writing was done using thin scale copper lines nano-millimeter, the type usually used to produce high-quality, energy-efficient chips, such as those used in the latest smartphones with Intel Inside technology. The width of each letter is 10 microns, about one-tenth the width of a human hair. "This is a very special gift for an extraordinary scientist and an extraordinary person ", said Prof. Martin Curley, Vice President at Intel and Director of Intel Laboratories in Europe, when submitting the award. "Prof. Hawking's scientific breakthroughs and his resilience are an inspiration to all of us." Prof. Stephen Hawking is the research director and founder of the Center for Theoretical Cosmology The centre's new supercomputer, COSMOS Mk IX, which is part of the UK DiRAC Facility, based on Intel technology, is designed to solve some of the most complex mathematical challenges facing cosmology researchers today. The computer will be used to examine the origin of the universe, analyze background radiation data cosmic data obtained from the European satellite "Planck", and to investigate the complexity of the origins of our universe with the help of lattice field theory simulations that simulate non-linear phenomena in the first fractions of a second of the universe. The supercomputer is expected to contribute to the answer to questions such as what happened in the first moments after the big bang, what were the ancient seeds that led to the formation of the galaxies, the stars and eventually, also humans. The COSMOS MK IX uses its 1,856 Intel Xeon E5 processor cores assisted by 31 Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessors, which together reach a theoretical peak performance of approximately 75 trillion floating point operations per second (TFLOPS). "We have been in contact with Prof. Hawking for a long time," said Justin Ratner, Intel's Chief Technology Officer and CEO of Intel Laboratories worldwide. "We are very happy to continue to support the work of the Center for Theoretical Cosmology, and to work closely with Prof. Hawking in improving the personal communication system His". The piece of silicon was awarded to Prof. Hawking following the State of the Universe symposium held on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, and in recognition of his contribution to research in fundamental physics and cosmology. Intel broadcast the event live on the Internet. Intel also announced its sponsorship of the COSMO 2013 international conference on particle physics and cosmology To be held in Cambridge on September 6-2, 2013. Well-known lecturers are expected to take part in the event, including Prof. Hawking, Prof. Brian Cox and Prof. David Spergel, and all of them will give lectures at the event.
