Sabine | This could test Stephen Hawking’s Prediction
Stephen Hawking’s most famous prediction is that black holes decay by emitting radiation.
This prediction has never been tested and most physicist, me included, think that it's basically impossible to test. So I was surprised to see that a group of astrophysics recently claimed they can put the prediction to the test because black hole mergers produce morsels.
What does that mean? Let’s have a look.
