"Nothing can escape a black hole, not even light"... right? In 1974, Stephen Hawking showed in a calculation involving general relativity, quantum mechanics and thermodynamics, that black holes do in fact emit light. This effect, now known as "Hawking Radiation", causes the black hole to slowly lose mass until it completely evaporates! Want to find out more about Hawking's discoveries? Come to our public lecture TOMORROW 7PM, Stephen Hawking - A Personal Perspective, where Pr...ofessor Robert Brandenberger, who has worked with Hawking in the past, will discuss his life and achievements. You can join us on ZOOM : https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85216949858 Or on Facebook Live, here on the AstroMcGill page. See you there! (Image credits : EHT collaboration, 2019)
