When particles escape from a black hole via Hawking radiation, they only contain information on the mass, spin and charge of the black hole’s original material. Other information, that is needed to reconstruct the black hole’s past, seems to be lost permanently. This breaks the fundamental principle of unitarity which says that total information must be conserved, creating a paradox.
This episode, we’ll examine potential solutions to the paradox, with particular focus on AdS/CFT correspondence (ie. the holographic principle) and recent work by Ahmed Almheiri.

What We Don't Know - Black hole information paradox (part two)
Transcript
Black hole information paradox (pt2)
Hello everyone, welcome to the eleventh episode of ‘What We Don’t Know’, a podcast that explores the boundaries of human knowledge, investigating the unanswered questions and theories that unravel them at the frontiers of science. During this podcast I hope to get you interested in new areas of science, maths and technology, teaching you about existing concepts and igniting a curiosity for the things we have yet to know.
