Black holes are perhaps the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the Universe. If you are fascinated by black hole’s and want to gain knowledge about this, you are welcome to join this course. This [course_title] represents a lightning introduction to the black hole information paradox. The course conducts a study on the information paradox and its possible resolutions. It shows a short argument for black hole evaporation by looking at the particles that constitute the black hole’s thermal atmosphere.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
