A new solution to the so-called Black Hole Information Paradox has been presented. It involves a peculiar solution of general relativity: wormholes, special bridges between two space-time locations.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers may have solved Professor Stephen Hawking's famous black hole paradox—a mystery that has puzzled scientists for almost half a century. According to two new studies, something called ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
