From a report: Sir Roger, 89, who won the honour for his seminal work proving that black holes exist, said he had found six ‘warm’ points in the sky (dubbed ‘Hawking Points’) which are…
Nobel Prize In Physics Awarded To 3 Scientists For Work On Black Holes
Raisey-raison writes from a report via The New York Times: The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three astrophysicists for their work on black holes, regions of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing — no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light — can escape. They are Roger Penrose, an Englishman, Reinhard Genzel, a German, and Andrea…
