Cosmology discusses the theory of black holes which are described as vast regions in space, attracting gravity so strong that nothing can resist; and believed to form a mass which becomes more and more compact before exploding and burning with gases. During this phase the matter is known as a star and believed to be much larger than the earth. The theory that black holes can emit radiation, known as Hawking radiation is the belief that in some cases energy can dissipate in proportion to the radiation present, reducing the prevalence of explosion. Believed to be true in the case of smaller black holes, which are described as emitters of radiation, the cause and effect of which is not discussed.
