Yeah, just saw that Stephen Hawking finally got sucked into a Black Hole. No escape for him. RIP, sort of. His legacy (Hawking radiation, etc) for advancing understanding will stand the test of time.
blackholes_theory
In 1974, Hawking shocked the physics world by showing that black holes should in fact thermally create and emit sub-atomic particles, known today as Hawking radiation, until they exhaust their energy and evaporate completely. According to this theory, black holes are not completely black, and neither do they last forever.
