Universe's Demise Prediction Debunked: A Scientific Mishap Based on Crude Approximation

A recent paper claimed that any massive object emits Hawking radiation, leading to the universe ending sooner than expected. This conclusion sparked widespread attention but was quickly challenged. Critics pointed out that the paper used a crude approximation, whose results are proven false even in simpler models. In fact, the physics community rigorously proved 50 years ago that the gravitational field of a static object does not create particle-antiparticle pairs. This incident highlights the importance of information verification in science communication and the need for critical thinking when interpreting scientific findings.
