ZA_2_05 — Hawking Radiation and Black Hole Thermodynamics

In 1974, Stephen Hawking showed that black holes are not truly black — they emit thermal radiation at a temperature inversely proportional to their mass, implying that black holes slowly evaporate and eventually disappea

ZA_2_01 — Time: Physics and Philosophy

Time is arguably the deepest unsolved problem in physics and philosophy. Physics reveals: (1) time is relative, not absolute — Einstein showed it flows at different rates depending on velocity and gravity; (2) the fundam
