Black holes seem to violate basic principles
[From online sources :)]
WHAT RUINS THE REALITY?
Here is AI for you:
Ok, so given that when a black hole cosumes something it destroys it & we can only derive information about that item from the point of entrance of the blackhole & decode what it was.... What happens if another item enters the blackhole at the same exact location? Doesn't that destroy the previously stored information?
Answer:
You're right, that's a core part of the Black Hole Information Paradox. Here's the breakdown:
The Problem: According to quantum mechanics, information cannot be destroyed. However, . They gobble up matter, and the only information we can seemingly retrieve is from the properties of the event horizon (the point of no return). Hawking radiation, the theoretical way black holes evaporate, carries no information about what fell in. So, if information is lost inside the black hole, it contradicts a fundamental law of physics.
The Current Debate: Physicists are still grappling with solutions. Here are some leading ideas:
Hawking Radiation Might Encode Information: Maybe Hawking radiation isn't entirely random. Some theories propose it might hold a scrambled version of the information that fell in, requiring a complex decoding process to recover it.
The Holographic Principle: This theory suggests the universe's information is encoded on its boundaries, like a hologram. Applied to black holes, it proposes the event horizon holds all the information about what's inside.
Firewalls and Soft Hair: These are more recent ideas suggesting a kind of energy barrier around the black hole might hold information or influence Hawking radiation in a way that preserves information.
What About Two Objects Entering at Once?: If two objects enter the same spot, it does complicate things. It might further scramble the information or make it even harder to decode. However, physicists are still working on understanding how information is processed by the black hole, so the exact outcome isn't fully understood.
The Black Hole Information Paradox remains an unsolved problem in physics, and these are just some of the ongoing areas of research.
