The Black Hole Paradox That Could Break Modern Physics
Season 1
Episode 60
Published 1 month ago
Description
The Black Hole Information Paradox remains one of the greatest unsolved problems in modern physics, exposing a deep conflict between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
While black holes appear to destroy everything that falls into them, Hawking Radiation suggests they eventually evaporate — raising the impossible question of what happens to the information trapped inside.
The debate has led to radical theories like the Holographic Principle, the Page Curve, and the controversial Firewall Hypothesis, all part of a larger effort to uncover a unified theory of Quantum Gravity capable of explaining how the universe preserves information at its most extreme limits.
