And researchers have used a strand of optic fiber to have a look at Hawking radiation. This is a faint, cerebral emission, Stephen Hawking said, would leak out of a black hole. And it's this very radiation that is predicted to, I mean, a black hole, a real black hole eventually evaporates. It takes a long time for it to do that, but actually the length of time would exceed that of the lifespan of the universe. But black holes will eventually evaporate. There are tables of experiments with optical fibers and left scientists that detect both the radiation and the weight that radiation feeds black hole. I appreciate the object that actually created it. The study published July 1 in the journal Nature showed that the light behaved exactly as Hawking predicted. It was a warm, low that had a temperature and spectrum that faded continuously into higher frequencies. And I found it was never able to see Hawking radiation.
