The entropy of Hawking Radiation
Event Start:

Event Information:
Black holes are interesting spacetime configurations predicted by general relativity. When quantum mechanics is taken into account, black holes are found to emit thermal radiation, called "Hawking radiation".
During the past couple of years a surprising new way to compute its entropy has emerged. This result indicates that the black hole formation and evaporation is consistent with standard quantum mechanical laws.
