Yesterday at a conference in Sweeden, Steven Hawking spoke about Hawking radiation. ( Yes, it is named after him).
-Famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking doesn’t think black holes are so inescapable after all.

“If you feel you are in a black hole, don’t give up,” he said in a lecture on Monday night Stockholm, Sweden. “There’s a way out.”
Theoretical physicists have long been puzzled over what happens to the information that composes matter when it goes into a black hole. The laws of quantum mechanics say that information can’t be destroyed — and yet that information seems to be lost when a black hole eventually evaporates.
“I propose that the information is stored not in the interior of the black hole as one might expect, but in its boundary, the event horizon,” he said on Tuesday.
The event horizon is the point of no return for matter being drawn toward a black hole. According to Hawking, that border area is sort of like a holographic representation of the black hole where information is stored. When Hawking radiation is emitted, that information is carried away, meaning no information is truly lost.
“The information about in-going articles is returned, but in a chaotic and useless form,” Hawking said. “This resolves the information paradox.”

P.S. I will remember this the next time I am inside a black hole...there IS a way out.
