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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A new hypothesis known as the Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM) could help explain some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including the Black Hole ...

For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen Hawking in 1976—which posits that black holes destroy information. That ...
