A spiderweb of wormholes could solve a fundamental paradox first proposed by Stephen Hawking
of a black hole, the boundary beyond which nothing can escape. Threads from a wormhole connect that surface to the outside world, entangling information between the interior of the black hole and the radiation leaks at its edges. In the 1970s, Hawking discovered that black holes aren't exactly black, but at first, he didn't realize the giant problem he had created. Before his discovery, physicists had assumed that black holes were exceedingly simple.
, in a process now known as Hawking radiation But that radiation didn't carry any information itself. Indeed, it couldn't; by definition, the event horizon of a black hole prevents information from leaving. So, when a black hole finally evaporates and disappears from the universe, where did all its locked-up information go?This is the black hole information paradox. One possibility is that information can be destroyed, which seems to violate everything we know about physics.
