noun
Hawking radiation
Technical term in astronomy and theoretical physics; refers to black-body radiation predicted to be emitted by black holes due to quantum effects near the event horizon.
ホーキング放射は、ブラックホールが完全に蒸発する可能性を示唆している。
Hawking radiation suggests the possibility that black holes could completely evaporate.
A black hole is the astronomical object; Hawking radiation is the theoretical emission from it.
Named after physicist Stephen Hawking, who proposed the concept in 1974. The Japanese term directly combines the katakana rendering of his name with 放射 (radiation).
