The terminal forecast, while gloomy, may help "unravel" the mysteries of a curious form of radiation, researchers said.

Previous studies that didn’t factor Hawking radiation into their equations have put a white dwarf’s lifespan at 10¹¹⁰⁰ years.

However, scientists generally think it would take less than 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ...
