For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Prof Stephen Hawking has died aged 76 ... and hence losing mass (remember Einstein's equation E=mc²). It would take a black hole a very long time to evaporate in this way, but in its last ...

Stephen Hawking was born on the 300th anniversary ... It had always been thought that nothing could escape a black hole; Hawking suggested that under certain conditions, a black hole could emit ...

Stephen Hawking was the most recognisable scientist of modern times. His life fascinated people for decades, culminating in an Oscar-winning portrayal of him in the film 'The Theory of Everything'.

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 ...

Nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event horizon — yet new research suggests it may secretly leak information. That leakage would appear in subtle signatures in gravitational waves ...

Professor Stephen Hawking delivers this year’s BBC Reith Lectures on black holes. Professor Hawking takes us through the history of scientific thinking about black holes, and explains how they ...
