Temperature, Hawking Radiation, and Black Holes

This chapter explores the concept of temperature in black holes, including its connection to information, entropy, and Hawking radiation. It discusses the challenges of detecting the faint Hawking radiation emitted by black holes, contrasting it with the infrared glow of rocks and the surrounding accretion disk. The potential visibility of smaller black holes in the night sky, the search for primordial black holes, and the theoretical formation of tiny black holes at the Large Hadron Collider are also discussed.
