Stephen Hawking gave a lecture at Harvard University on Monday. The physicist talked about black holes and its potential benefit to the people. The "A Brief History Of Time" author believes black holes can work as a portal to another universe.
Talking About Black Holes
According to the Boston Globe, Stephen Hawking visited the university to start a research center about black holes. The cosmologist described that black holes aren't an "eternal prison" like what people thought it is.
"Things can get out of a black hole, both from the outside and possibly though another universe," Stephen Hawking told about 1000 students at Harvard. "So if you feel you're in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out."
Stephen Hawking explained it took him quite a while to find black holes do "exist" and release elements. In fact, Albert Einsten was apprehensive behind the reality of black holes.
Black Holes As Part Of Science
"Black holes are stranger than anything dreamed up by science fiction writers, but they are firmly matters of science fact," Stephen Hawking noted. He even asserted black holes don't gobble up everything that reach its surface.
Stephen Hawking said it is like putting an encyclopedia on fire. However, the information inscribed into it won't be lost if one store its ashes but, it will be definitely hard to read.
Daily Express reported Dejan Stojkovic, an associate professor of physics at the University of Buffalo, also disclosed the same claim by Stephen Hawking about black holes last year. "According to our work, information isn't lost once it enters a black hole. It doesn't just disappear."
Effects Of Black Holes
Earlier this year, Stephen Hawking claimed people could the ability to control the whole society by employing the energy of black holes. However, it could be too dangerous if they failed to control black holes, Mirror noted.
Black holes can go downward into the center of the Earth and devour all the human beings. Also, black holes can consume the whole planet and the entire solar system.
