Hawking in a thousand words
Abstract
British physicist Stephen Hawkings most important discovery was that black holes are not so black, as they possess a temperature and emit thermal radiation. In his popular science texts, Hawking offered a detailed explanation of this phenomenon. The aim of this work is to translate that explanation into mathematical language accessible to an advanced high school student, all within a thousand words.
