Scientists Propose Detecting Hawking Radiation with Current Telescopes
New research suggests black hole 'morsels' from mergers could emit detectable gamma-ray bursts.
- Hawking radiation, theorized in the 1970s, has yet to be observed directly.
- Researchers believe black hole mergers create small 'morsel' black holes emitting unique gamma rays.
- These gamma-ray bursts could be detected by existing atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes.
- Detection could provide insights into black hole quantum behavior and new particle physics.
- The study highlights the potential of multimessenger astronomy in observing these phenomena.
