"Information is not erased but preserved in black holes"


Contrary to what we have been knowing for such a long time that, ‘Black Holes doesn't hold information and any document that is ever shredded into the “giant” hole is unlikely to be ever retrieved’, a new study at University of Buffalo contradicts this theory and may prove many physicists wrong. The new research comes with explicit theoretical calculation backing up the statement that “Black holes don’t erases the information instead preserves it”, an information which is stored but cannot be retrieved.

For years Scientists have argued that Black holes are the ultimate vault, entities that absorbs any information and then make it disappear forever leaving behind no trace of its origin. But according to the latest research done by Mr.Dejan Stojkovic, Phd, associate professor at University of Buffalo, ‘the information just doesn’t disappear’.

The research’s skeleton structure outlines how interaction between two particles emitted by black holes can reveal about the information what lies within, such as characteristics of the object that form the black hole to begin with, and the characteristics of the matter and energy drawn inside. Professor Stojkovic believes that his paper is important as it will help those scientists too who believed that ‘information in a black hole is not lost but didn’t able to prove it mathematically’, as his new paper presents strong mathematical calculation to prove that how the information is preserved.


The research have helped solving one of the greatest paradox in the history of astrophysics, i.e. “information loss paradox”, that have plagued many physicist for almost 40 years since the time when Stephen hawking first proposed that “black holes could radiate energy and evaporate over time”. Though hawking later said that he might be wrong in his theory and that ‘information may escape from the black hole’, integrating a never ending debatable topic among many astrophysicists that, ‘the subject of whether and how it’s possible to recover the information from a black hole’.


But Stojkovic’s paper may be the answer for the all the queries, as not only it dealt with the particles that black hole emits, but have also taken into the account about the ‘subtle interaction of the particles’, which have proved that, it is possible for an observer standing outside of a black hole to recover information about what lies inside. The whole research was funded by the National Science Foundation and could sketch new face of truth for the “black hole” theory.
