Hawking radiation
c.
By applying quantum mechanics to black holes, Hawking was able to predict that random quantum fluctuations would create particle-antiparticle pairs that would annihilate almost immediately. Unless, of course, one half of that pair crossed the event horizon of a black hole and the other went the other direction. In this way, the black hole would slowly lose energy because of the radiation it emits.
