In A First, Scientists Took The Temperature Of A Sonic Black Hole
But physicists have spotted hints of similar radiation from analogs of black holes created in the lab (SN: 12/18/10, p. 28). In the new study, the sonic black hole’s temperature agrees with that predicted by Hawking’s theory, the team reports in the May 30 Nature. After Hawking proposed his theory, this predicted thermal property of the radiation led to a conundrum known as the black hole information paradox.
