Hawking radiation is the notion that black holes evaporate, losing mass over extreme periods of time and eventually disappearing. But now, according to researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands, that might actually happen to everything in the universe eventually.
00:00Hawking radiation is the notion that black holes evaporate, losing mass over extreme periods of time and eventually disappearing.
00:10But now, according to researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands, that might actually happen to everything in the universe eventually.
00:17They say it's not Hawking radiation per se, but something that works very similarly to it.
00:21Black holes evaporate because they are so dense their event horizons, or the threshold around a black hole which nothing can escape from, not even light,
00:28caused fluctuations in quantum fields, causing them to emit particles in the form of a cool light.
00:34But now the Radboud University research team says they've been able to mathematically produce the same evaporation in pretty much everything in the universe,
00:41using a similar radiation but one that manifests in electrical fields rather than black holes, and involves the curvature of space-time.
00:48All incredibly massive objects produce a bend in space-time, meaning fluctuations in the quantum field, just like black holes.
00:55With the researchers explaining, quote,
00:57And after a very long period, that would lead to everything in the universe eventually evaporating, just like black holes.
01:03This changes not only our understanding of Hawking radiation, but also our view of the universe and its future.
01:09This is the main study of Hawking reality, which we have great .
01:11This is a measure of how to apply it in einzel2 weeks of their body.
01:13Now let's see here.
01:14We're here to actually take advantage of the world of the world of the world of black holes and everything else.
01:15This is the measure of the sun on the moon and the moon.
01:16We're here to continue with the sun on the moon.
01:17You were here to just take advantage of the sun.
