Computer simulation supports a “holographic” theory describing a black hole

Science Focus

original post »

A “holographic” theory, which was conjectured to describe accurately the dynamical phenomena occurring in a black hole, has been tested numerically by a research group composed of four researchers: Masanori Hanada, Ph.D., an associate professor at Kyoto University, Yoshifumi Hyakutake, Ph. D., an associate professor at Ibaraki University, Goro Ishiki, Ph. D., an assistant professor at Kyoto University, and Jun Nishimura, Ph. D., an associate professor at KEK. Black holes are literally “black holes” residing in the cosmic space: once something goes into a black hole, it can never come out even with the speed of light. In 1974 the British physicist, Hawking, showed theoretically that a black hole actually radiates particles and evaporates little by little by considering the microscopic effect near the black hole which causes particles and anti-particles to be created and annihilated in pairs. This led him to conclude that a black hole can be viewed as an object with certain temperature. On the other hand, it has been thought difficult to understand such properties of the black hole accurately from the interior of the black hole. The reason is that as one approaches the center of the black hole, the curvature of the space-time increases, and the description of gravity in terms of
