• Resumen

  • The random disorder of subatomic particles--known as their entropy--might be key to solving the puzzle of how black holes lose information. The huge mass of a black hole is compressed down to a tiny point so it is simultaneously governed by both general relativity, which deals with the very large, and quantum mechanics, which focuses on the very small. Yet trying to combine the two is tricky. Quantum mechanics says that information about a particle can't be destroyed. But material that falls into a black hole can theoretically never be recovered, leading to a loss of information.
