Black holes and quantum mechanics present a paradox about the preservation of informationI followed about eight paragraphs of this article until I got to this:
Physicists made a breakthrough several years ago when they thought about spacetime itself as a quantum phenomenon. Like particles or any other quantum object, quantum spacetime would not have a fixed, certain geometry—instead it would exist as a combination of different geometries, each with their own probability. Though the most likely shapes would mimic the classical picture of a black hole, some of the outlier probabilities would look much different. In some cases, the insides of black holes would even form wormholes connecting to other black holes. Factoring in the wormholes revealed that, in effect, a region of spacetime within a black hole called an island in some ways exists outside of the hole altogether. And information seems to find a path through such wormholes.
Whoa OK I guess?
