What is the Black Hole Information Paradox?

BHIP is a theory that discusses how when information in the form of particles goes past the event horizon, there is a possibility that the information is destroyed. This is problematic is because if this paradox is true, then everything we know about physics is wrong.

However, there are several solutions to the paradox. One of these solutions is that information could be projected on the surface of the black hole. This gives way for simulation theories to come because if 3D particles could be projected onto a 2D surface, it means we could be living in a Hologram.

That is a LOT to take in...

What is inside black hole?

A black hole is a region where gravity is so strong that light cannot escape itself.

A black hole has a boundary called the event horizon. It is where gravity is just strong enough to track light back and prevent it from escaping. Because nothing can travel faster than ligh...

  • A hologram: As seen in the first Star Wars movie, a hologram is a 3D image made from the interference of light beams from a laser onto a 2D surface. In 2018, researchers created a real hologram. At present, it can only be done on a very small scale.

What is a Black hole ?

Black holes cannot be seen as they don't reflect any light.

The centre of black hole is called singularity - a point of infinite density i.e the space curvature extends to infinity.
