However, this presents a problem. Any object that enters a black hole contains all types of information both classical and ...

One of the most stunning examples of black hole weirdness comes from Stephen Hawking who ... violating a Schrödinger equation explaining that physical systems that change over time can’t ...

What Hawking ended up with were descriptions of black holes that could boil themselves out of existence, and equations that described the entire history of the Universe in a single sweep.

There are a few, however, that have been discovered hidden within the confines of an equation, only later to be confirmed with observation. One such discovery is the Black Hole, and how it was ...

In 1974, Stephen Hawking put forward an intriguing idea: Using the principles of quantum physics, he predicted that even though nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event horizon ...

As black holes slowly vanish through Hawking radiation, their information may be preserved in subtle space-time ripples, a new theory suggests. Nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event ...

A new study suggests that black holes may not be the featureless, structureless entities that Einstein's general theory of ...

Stephen Hawking has died peacefully at home aged 76. The physicist made his name with theories on black holes and relativity, but he was many things to many people. Growing up some might have ...
