Information Paradox

The information paradox is a puzzle in black hole physics. It questions whether information about objects falling into a black hole is lost forever or somehow preserved. According to quantum mechanics, information cannot be destroyed, but classical black hole theory suggests everything disappears inside, erasing details. This conflict creates the paradox. Recent theories propose that information might escape through quantum effects or be encoded on the black hole’s surface (event horizon), but the full solution remains an open area of research, highlighting a deep clash between gravity and quantum physics.
