Black Holes and Information Loss

Crazy fact: Black holes might be deleting information from the universe. Not hiding it.

Not scrambling it. Deleting it forever. Stephen Hawking discovered that black holes actually

glow—just a tiny bit—and as they shine, they shrink. But here’s the nightmare

part: The radiation that escapes carries no trace of what fell in.

Throw in a planet, a book, your whole phone— the universe never sees that information

again. If that’s true, it breaks one of the biggest laws in physics…

because nothing else in the universe destroys information.
