What Is Hawking Radiation?

Hawking radiation is an event associated with black holes. It is named after the renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, who presented a theoretical evidence for its existence in 1974. Hawking radiation decreases the mass and rotational energy of black holes and is also known as black hole evaporation. Due to this, black holes that do not gain volume through other means are supposed to shrink and ultimately fade. Micro black holes are assumed to be larger emitters of radiation than bigger black holes and should thus shrink and disappear faster.
