>The problem is that, according to Hawking's best calculations, that (hawking) radiation would contain no useful information about what the black hole ate - the information swallowed up would have been lost forever. And that doesn't gel with our understanding of modern physics, which states that it's always possible to reverse time. In theory, at least, processes in the Universe will look the same if they're running forwards or backwards.
>But Hawking thinks he finally has a solution to the problem - black holes might actually have a halo of 'soft hair' surrounding them, which are capable of storing information.
>That 'hair' isn't actually hair - as you might have already assumed - but is actually low-energy quantum excitations that carry with them a signature pattern of everything that's been swallowed up by the black hole, long after it evaporates.
>But he admits: "It is certainly possible that, following the path indicated by this work, further investigation will uncover more hair of this type, and perhaps eventually lead to a resolution of the black hole information problem."
Thoughts?

this assumptions is retarded and has no place in a theory.
solve imaginary problem with imaginary solution. I loe these guys physicists.

Well done for not understanding anything that was said. Information is a well defined thermodynamic quantity it exists. The information in a black hole is not just impractical to get but gone under the no-hair theorem.
so dumb. burn a paper and douse the ashes. the information on that paper is gone. Such a shame that so much human effort is wasted on this "science" as a masturbatory intellectual fantasy.

Yay more mumbo-jumbo!

My first reaction was "I swear he did this half a year ago already," but then I read the first line of the article.
So this hasn't been debunked?

No it's real I've read the paper. It's just more useless bullshit as usual. Physics is getting as bad as pure maths these days, just a publicly funded hangout zone for autists
