My work indicated that if we consider smaller and smaller black holes, at some stage, the properties of black holes become indistinguishable from those of elementary particles. Ashoke Sen Read Quote
My work on black holes was on the connection between black holes and elementary particles. Ashoke Sen Read Quote
