Hawking's riddle solved
For thirty years, Stephen Hawking has held to the belief that all information about a subatomic particle's quantum states is lost when it passes the event horizon of a black hole. This contradicts standard quantum theory, which holds that such information cannot be totally lost. He believes he has now solved this riddle, which has vexed him since 1974. A detailed paper on the subject is expected next month.
