Explore the fascinating concept that black holes are not truly black but rather "grey" in this 58-minute lecture delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the theoretical physics behind black hole radiation and thermodynamics as part of the Summer School for Women in Physics 2025 program. Discover how Stephen Hawking's groundbreaking work revealed that black holes emit radiation, giving them a temperature and making them appear grey rather than completely black. Learn about the quantum mechanical processes occurring near the event horizon and understand the profound implications for our understanding of gravity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics. Examine the information paradox and its significance in modern theoretical physics while gaining insights into one of the most intriguing phenomena in the universe through clear explanations suitable for physics students and researchers.
