Nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event horizon — yet new research suggests it may secretly leak information. That leakage would appear in subtle signatures in gravitational waves, and now ...

The black hole information paradox raises a lot of questions. When something goes into a black hole some theories state that ‘physical information’ could be gone. This means that physical states would ...

Researchers make progress on a vexing problem about how black holes evolve. If there’s one misconception people have about black holes, it’s that nothing ever escapes them. As physicist Stephen ...

Black holes have been a big problem in physics. For decades, scientists have been mystified about what happens to stuff that falls into a black hole. The quandary is called the black hole information ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists believe they have cracked one of the most pressing mysteries surrounding black holes that has boggled experts for decades. Black holes are among the most extreme and strange objects we know ...
