Episode notes
In theoretical physics, there are ongoing debates and unanswered questions such as the fate of information falling into a black hole. Stephen Hawking once believed that information hits the singularity and leaves the universe but later changed his mind. Hawking had a famous bet with Chip Thorne over this topic, where they wagered an encyclopedia. Chip Thorne, known for his work on LIGO and winning the Nobel Prize, wrote extensive books on gravity and black holes, including a 1200-page book filled with equations, reflecting a deep level of geekdom in their field.
