Hawking's Black Hole Theory (1971) England
Stephen Hawking (b.1942)
1974 Hawking said that black holes are not really black after all : they glow like a hot body and the smaller they are the more they glow. He proposed a mechanism by which black holes transform their mass into both radiation and particles that leave the hole.The result is that black holes gradually evaporate. So they do not last forever. The amount of radiation, now known as Hawking radiation, escaping from black hole is inversely proportional to the square of its mass ; that is, the smaller the black hole is, the shorter its life span.
Hawking, an eminent physicist, is the author of most popular science book of Our time, A brief history of time: From the big bang to Black Holes (1988)
