4 days ago · The Purpose of CTC. There are two circumstances in which the hidden basic fabric of the Universe is violently shaken and unveiled: in the enormous temperatures and densities of the Hot Big Bang and during the extreme collapse to form a black hole. CTC focuses on mathematical theories of these pivotal physical events, confronting them with ...

4 days ago · The expanding Universe, in many ways, is the ultimate out-of-equilibrium system. ... When the final black hole in the Universe decays, releasing energy via Hawking radiation, the last source of ...
2 days ago · In particular, the center of a black hole is predicted to be a point of infinitely high density, called a singularity, where all the mass of the black hole is concentrated, but fundamental physics ...
1 day ago · The analogy was completed when Hawking, in 1974, showed that quantum field theory implies that black holes should radiate like a black body with a temperature proportional to the surface gravity of the black hole, predicting the effect now known as Hawking radiation.
1 day ago · The no-boundary condition offers up a third option. Space-time is finite and yet there is no singularity. In addition, the universe is self-contained meaning it does not have a beginning or an end. Just like in a universe that has existed for an infinite time there is no moment of creation. In chapter 10 he discusses wormholes and time travel.
16 hours ago · DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2405.12880. In 1974 Stephen Hawking famously claimed that black holes should emit particles as well as absorb them. This so-called "Hawking radiation" has not yet been observed ...
4 days ago · Stephen Hawking was the contemporary equivalent of Albert Einstein. With his remarkable intellectual prowess, he revealed many of the universe's secrets. Undoubtedly, his contributions have propelled society forward in numerous ways. And, despite his debilitating disease,
