Stephen Hawking's equations require carving on gravestones

Simple equation that summarizes all about black holes and Hawking radiation, is the physical prince who wants to keep on his tombstone.

Before, Professor Stephen Hawking expressed his wish about the inscription he wanted to engrave on the tombstone. That equation contains all the most important parts from the greatest discovery in his career. The equation briefly describes the hypothesis that black holes are not entirely black but emit light called Hawking radiation , Independent.

Hawking's breakthrough discovery not only helps people gain new understandings about black holes but also how the universe evolves and changes over time. Equations are presented with only a few characters as follows:

The S on the left side of the equation is entropy, a complex but indispensable part of a black hole, which can be interpreted as a measure of a system's disorder. Sometimes, this symbol is written with a small "BH" beside it, abbreviated for them by Professor Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein, another contributing scientist to help people better understand black holes.

The rest of the equation is the quantities needed to calculate entropy. Symbol h is a very important Planck constant in quantum mechanics; G is a Newton constant, used to represent gravity; A is the event horizon; c is the famous speed of light in Albert Einstein's formula; k is the Boltzmann constant representing the relationship between energy and temperature

The equation seems a bit complicated. However, Professor Hawking gave a very simple explanation of the process he drew this formula.

"I wonder whether atoms can exist, in which nucleus is a tiny, primitive black hole, formed in the early universe?" , Professor Hawking writes on the occasion of his 60th birthday. "To solve this problem, I studied how quantum fields can disperse a black hole. I predict that part of the incident wave will be steamed. pass and the rest will be dispersed ".

"But I was amazed to see that there seemed to be radiation coming out of the black hole. At first, I thought it must have been wrong in my calculations. But I was convinced this radiation was real because of it. exactly what is needed to define the event horizon by the entropy of a black hole, I want to engrave this simple formula on my tombstone , " said Professor Hawking.
