The Black Hole Information Paradox and the Reversibility in Quantum Mechanics
The black hole information paradox arises from the violation of the fundamental principle of reversibility in quantum mechanics. Quantum uncertainties at the atomic level blur information, making true reversibility impossible. While quantum equations are time-reversible, the black hole seemingly terminates this reversibility, posing a significant challenge. Scientists speculate that information about objects falling into black holes may be preserved through Hawking radiation, offering a potential solution to the paradox and avoiding the need to reconsider quantum mechanics.
