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 ...

When it comes to the sciences, sometimes making two observations or measurements that appear to contradict each other is the best thing that could possibly happen. These apparent paradoxes help lead ...

With the passing of Stephen Hawking, science has lost not only its most recognizable public figure, but also a remarkable researcher into the nature of black holes. While his final paper may have ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a landmark series of calculations, physicists have proved that black holes can shed information, which seems impossible by definition. The work appears to resolve a paradox that Stephen Hawking ...

The universe really likes its information. It doesn't like to create new information, and it doesn't like to destroy any of its existing information. In fact, "like" is far too weak of a word. As far ...
