Professor Stephen Hawking has released a new theory, which he says will solves the problems of what happens when information goes into black holes. Last year, the world-famous physicist had hinted to have found the solution to the “black hole paradox”, which could win him his first ever Noble prize.

 

"This paper gives an explicit description of soft hair in terms of soft gravitons or photons on the black hole horizon, and shows that complete information about their quantum state is stored on a holographic plate at the future boundary of the horizon," explains the summary.

 

According to Professor Hawking, there are hairs on the edge of certain black holes that could preserve bits of information. The research, which was co-written by Malcolm Perry from Cambridge University and Andrew Strominger from Harvard, claims to have proofs of these hairs.

 

Meanwhile, Sabine Hossenfelder of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, has reacted to the research saying: "I am not at all convinced that the new idea proposed by Hawking, Perry, and Strominger solves the information loss problem. But it seems an interesting avenue that is worth further exploration."
