Nothing is eternal :)





Shakerspeare understood death better than most as he realized our time in this reaily is but fleetingly brief but for other entities, it takes time to die but die they do due to Hawking Radiation where everything evaporates
given enough time. 


What if black holes weren’t the only things slowly vanishing from existence? Scientists have now shown that all dense cosmic bodies—from neutron stars to white dwarfs—might eventually evaporate via Hawking-like radiation.

Even more shocking, the end of the universe could come far sooner than expected, “only” 10/78 years from now, not the impossibly long 10/1100 years once predicted. In an ambitious blend of astrophysics, quantum theory, and math, this playful yet serious study also computes the eventual fates of the Moon—and even a human.

Black Holes Aren’t Alone

A team of scientists from Radboud University in the Netherlands has taken their bold theory one step further. Black hole expert Heino Falcke, quantum physicist Michael Wondrak, and mathematician Walter van Suijlekom previously proposed that not just black holes, but other dense cosmic objects like neutron stars, could also slowly “evaporate” through a process similar to Hawking radiation.

Their earlier paper caught attention across the scientific world—and beyond. One question kept popping up: How long does this slow cosmic fading actually take? In their latest research, they’ve done the math.
