The organizer was … Continue reading “Hawking discusses results of black hole conference”
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”
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.
