black hole evaporation

Black hole evaporation is the theoretical process by which black holes slowly lose mass and energy through the emission of Hawking radiation. Over immense timescales, depending on their initial mass, black holes are predicted to shrink and eventually vanish in a final burst of energy. This concept, a cornerstone of black hole thermodynamics, suggests that black holes are not eternal entities, challenging prior assumptions.
