A black hole seemingly emits nothing, contradicting a fundamental principle of physics: that information cannot be destroyed. The evolutionary history of a thing is supposed be legible (i.e., the remains of a supernova contain the information required to deduce what kind of star exploded). The same does not seem to apply for a black hole. This contradiction is called the Information Paradox.

A number of theoretical solutions to the paradox have been proposed, including the “fuzzball” and “soft-hair” resolutions, and, most famously, Hawking radiation. Importantly, few scientists believe that information is irretrievably lost: the conversation is instead a matter of how the information might be painstakingly reconstituted.
