The universe will “bleed” and will evaporate

One of Stephen Hawking’s most famous (perhaps most famous) theories involved black holes and stated that black holes eventually evaporate by losing what’s known as Hawking radiation, a gradual draining of energy in the form of light particles bouncing around extremely strong gravitational fields. black holes. This theory is back in the news after a research group updated this theory, arguing that not just black holes but everything in the universe is doomed to evaporate.

with Publishing In the journal Physical Review Letters, the researchers argue that Hawking radiation is produced not only by energy theft from black holes but from all cosmic bodies of sufficient mass. If this new theory is correct, it means that the universe is “bleeding out” of energy and everything in the universe will eventually disappear.

This means that objects without an event horizon (the gravitational point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole) such as the remnants of dead stars and other large objects in the universe, also have this type of radiation. After a while For a very long period of time, this will cause everything in the universe to eventually evaporate just like black holes.This not only changes our understanding of Hawking radiation, but also our view of astrophysics at Radboud University in the Netherlands, who led the study. to the universe and its future.
