Scientists have solved a 50 year 'black hole paradox' first proposed by Professor Stephen Hawking, that once threatened to break our understanding of the universe.The black hole information paradox pits quantum mechanics against general relativity, where on one hand nothing can leave a black hole due to the strength of its gravity, and on the other, under quantum mechanics, something is radiated out. It is based on a theory by Hawking that a black hole isn't actually black, with pairs of particles and antiparticles produced at its event horizon. One goes into the black hole, the other escaping - but these two states are contradictory.
