Black holes can lose mass and energy over time. They release Hawking radiation. The smaller they are, the more radiation they emit, so the hotter they get. The end scenario is the black holes ...

Hawking became convinced that his calculation was correct when he realized that the outgoing radiation would have a thermal spectrum characteristic of the heat radiated by any warm body, from a star ...
