Beyond The Causal Horizon : Hawking Radiation, Other Energy Extractions from Black Holes, and Penrose Diagrams
Overview
This book is a journey from the birth of black holes in collapsing stars to the quantum mysteries of Hawking radiation and beyond. It explores how energy and information can be extracted, how paradoxes challenge our understanding, and how new ideas in physics, from holography to quantum gravity, open horizons to the future.
Using Penrose diagrams as our guide, we uncover the global structure of spacetime-from Minkowski space to Schwarzschild, Kerr, de Sitter, anti-de Sitter, BTZ, and Vaidya spacetimes-revealing the causal architecture that governs horizons, singularities, and infinity.
Bridging classical general relativity, quantum field theory, and modern breakthroughs, this book illuminates the profound interplay between gravity, thermodynamics, and information, and opens new horizons for future discovery.
