Hawking radiation

In physics, Hawking radiation (also known as Bekenstein-Hawking radiation) is a thermal radiation with a black body spectrum predicted to be emitted by black holes due to "quantum effects". It is named after the British physicist Stephen Hawking who provided the theoretical argument for its existence in 1974, and sometimes also after the Israeli physicist Jacob Bekenstein who predicted that black holes should have a finite, non-zero temperature and entropy.

.The process by which a black hole can apparently evaporate into space. When virtual particles are produced in the near vicinity of a black hole, it is possible for one member of the matter-antimatter pair to be pulled into the black hole whilst the other escapes into space. The particle which falls into the black hole negates some of its mass and so the black hole shrinks a little. This makes it look as if the particle which escaped into space has come from the black hole and gives the appearance that the black hole is evaporating. This process was theorised to take place by Cambridge astronomer Stephen Hawking and is the subject of observational searches. As yet, however, no direct evidence for it has been found.
