The Black Hole Information Paradox

Abstract 

The Black Hole Information Paradox is one of the great unsolved problems in cosmology. Black holes devour all of the information that falls into them and all of it is stored in the singularity of the black hole. But here, the infamous Hawking radiation throws us off. Hawking radiation appears as a steady stream of particles, mostly photons, coming out of the black hole’s event horizon. It does not appear to contain any information, and is the same no matter what you throw into the black hole. This violate our laws of quantum information, stating that information cannot be created or destroyed.
