Black holes and physics tests....

Overall, I was really disappointed for this test: I spent hours learning and committing to memory the process of writing and solving differential equations, only to have so little time on the test that I didn't even get to it! Ah well, better luck next time, self.

In the meantime, here's a Phun Physics Phact: Black holes are not actually black. In fact, they emit small amounts of radiation, causing them to glow slightly. This light, referred to by physicists as Hawking Radiation, is actually the decaying of the black hole. If the black hole does not have enough mass to sustain it, then it will eventually evaporate altogether.
