In 1997, the three cosmologists made a famous bet as to whether information that enters a black hole ceases to exist -- that is, whether the interior of a black hole is changed at all by the ...

The event horizon of a black hole is a spherical or spheroidal region from which nothing, not even light, can escape. But outside the event horizon, the black hole is predicted to emit radiation.

Scientists may have just solved the famous Hawking information paradox. The paradox states that information can neither be emitted from a black hole or preserved inside forever. But the laws of ...

Are black holes as simple as they appear, or is there more to their story? Theories that attempt to resolve the so-called black hole information paradox predict that black holes are much more ...

A seemingly intractable black hole paradox first proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking could finally be resolved — by wormholes through space-time. The "black hole information paradox" refers to the ...

Tulika Bose: This is 60-Second Science. I'm Tulika Bose. You probably already know what a black hole is, but have you ever heard of the black hole information paradox? I'm here with Clara Moskowitz, ...

Two new studies of a solution to the paradox titled "Quantum hair and black hole information" and "Quantum Hair from Gravity" have been published in the journals Physics Letters B and Physical Review ...

A special case of black holes has scientists questioning everything they know about the universe. These older black holes both release existing "information" inside them and reject new "information." ...

Black holes have an information problem. According to the laws of quantum mechanics, information about the state of a closed system cannot be destroyed, but black holes seem to obliterate it.
