New York: The "information loss paradox" in black holes -- a problem that has plagued physics for nearly 40 years since Stephen Hawking first proposed that black holes could radiate energy and evaporate over time -- may not exist at all, researchers report. "According to our work, information is not lost once it enters a black hole.

It does not just disappear," said Dejan Stojkovic, associate professor of physics at the University at Buffalo.It outlines how interactions between particles emitted by a black hole can reveal information about what lies within, such as characteristics of the object that formed the black hole to begin with, and characteristics of the matter and energy drawn inside.
