So, there is balance in everything... until there isn’t. This got me wondering about the end of a star. Went to WikiP and read about that, which led to neutron star formation and black holes. Followed that link and found “Hawking radiation”. Does he talk about that in this book? Fascinating!
“Hawking radiation reduces the mass and rotational energy of black holes and is therefore also theorized to cause black hole evaporation. Because of this, black holes that do not gain mass through other means are expected to shrink and ultimately vanish.”
I've started listening to "The Higgs Boson and Beyond" Audiobook By Sean Carroll (part of The Great Courses on Audible). Wow! The Higgs field appears to be everywhere. It's fascinating.
I've ordered "The Universe in a Nutshell" as my Christmas present! Ninatazamia kuisoma. :-)
Cool!

So, THAT’S where they go! 😮 Maybe.
Fun stuff to learn while eating breakfast.

Yes Louise!! I do believe Hawking talks about black holes and that radiation next....
