Black Hole Information Paradox
The presence of a black hole creates a complex scenario where quantum mechanics and general relativity clash. While falling into a black hole is expected to be uneventful per gravity, quantum mechanics introduces the idea of particles evaporating off the event horizon, leading to a challenge known as the black hole information paradox. This paradox arises from the conflict between the irretrievable information loss predicted by gravity and the preservation of information according to quantum mechanics, causing chaos and unresolved explanations in astrophysics.
