Objections to this idea appeared as early as 1980, but it took two decades for the balance of opinion, including Hawking's, to shift to the belief that information is not ultimately lost by black holes. The debate led to a lot of understanding of gravitational physics, so even if Hawking was originally wrong, it was a truly great mistake. 첨부파일 |
