For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen Hawking in 1976—which posits that black holes destroy information.
They are some of the universe's most unusual and fascinating objects. And now a study suggests that black holes might be even stranger than we thought. NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory has ...
