It could turn up some exciting new physics, too: mini black holes, large extra dimensions, and a host of exotic subatomic particles, just to name a few.
然而在20世纪70年代，剑桥大学的物理学教授霍金用量子力学预测了实际上的黑洞并不是一片黑暗。
In the 1970s, however, Dr Hawking, a physicist at Cambridge University, used quantum mechanics to predict that black holes are not, in fact, completely black.
哈佛大学史密森天体物理中心的天体物理学家PaulGreen称，目前流行的理论认为星系和黑洞是同时产生的。
