Newmerix Corp. Web programmer and amateur physicist David Ring has developed a new model for evaporating black holes. "It took about four months of calculations," said Ring of his hypothesis that describes the dwindling mass of black holes. "Even so, passing peer review may have been the hardest part. As an amateur, every step is thoroughly scrutinized."

Physicists have struggled to solve the difficult equations that describe the evolution of a black hole (pictured) as its mass dwindles over time.

NASA Conducts Census Of Nearby Hidden Black Holes

NASA scientists on a quest to find hidden black holes in the local universe have found surprisingly few, the agency announced Wednesday. The observation implies that if these hidden black holes exist - and most scientists are convinced they do - they must be from the more distant, earlier universe, a concept that has interesting implications for galaxy evolution.

This all-sky map shows regions of ionized hydrogen gas in the local universe. The hidden black holes detected in the INTEGRAL survey of high-energy X-ray sources are located within the diamond-shape marks. Many sources were detected through the line of sight of the dusty Milky Way galactic plane, which is the bright area stretching across the center of the entire image from left to right.
