Hawking Radiation and the Black Hole Information Paradox

from The Quark Side - Quantum Physics Podcast · host Synthetic Universe

Hawking radiation showed that black holes slowly evaporate, raising a deep conflict with quantum theory over whether information is truly lost. Physicists now turn to ideas like holography, entanglement, and string theory to resolve one of modern physics’ greatest paradoxes.
