Hawking discusses results of black hole conference

Stephen Hawking just delivered a status report on the search for a solution to the information loss paradox, at the conclusion of a weeklong conference being held at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The conference was sponsored by Nordita, a theoretical physics research center co-driven by KTH and Stockholm University. The organizer was … Continue reading “Hawking discusses results of black hole conference”

Hawking proposes way for information to escape destruction in black hole

It might not settle the argument over what happens to information trapped in black holes, but Stephen Hawking’s new theory dominated the discussion today at a specially-convened meeting of world-leading physicists, held at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Black holes don’t actually swallow and destroy physical information, according to a theory Hawking proposed at the Hawking Radiation … Continue reading “Hawking proposes way for information to escape destruction in black hole”

Hawking explains his new theory of how information avoids destruction in black holes

Stephen Hawking took the floor today at the Hawking Radiation conference to explain his latest idea about how quantum-mechanical information can escape being lost in a black hole. The presentation was made today during the Hawking Radiation conference being held at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Hawking is in town for a weeklong … Continue reading “Hawking explains his new theory of how information avoids destruction in black holes”

Hawking: information lost in black holes could be stored in alternate universes

“If you feel you are in a black hole, don’t give up. There’s a way out,” said Stephen Hawking tonight in a public lecture in Stockholm while revealing his latest idea that black holes offer a possible passage to another universe. The legendary scientist and author said tonight that he has discovered a mechanism “by which information … Continue reading “Hawking: information lost in black holes could be stored in alternate universes”
