Hawking radiation


 

In physics, Hawking radiation is thermal radiation thought to be emitted by black holes due to quantum effects. It is named after British physicist Stephen Hawking who worked out the theoretical argument for its existence in 1974. Hawking's discovery became the first convincing insight in quantum gravity. However, the existence of Hawking radiation remains controversial.
