O.P. Steven Hawkings admits he was incorrect.
this is an interesting article
Hawking's U-Turn
Stephen hawking has dramatically announced the he's been wrong about black holes for the last 30 years. The world's most famous living scientist now believes that black holes don't destroy everything thats sucked into them. Instead, information about particles that have been sucken in can leak out over time.
Hawking's new theory concernts the black hole's event horizon - its 'surface', from which matter, energy and light cannot even escampi the hole's awsome gravitational grasp. Hawking believes that tiny flunctuations on the event horizon allow information, such as energy stats of atoms, to escape.
Its a radical departure from his own famouse theort, called Hawking radiation. Proposed in 1974, Hawking radiation holds that black holes emit energy, causing them to shrink and eventually explode - this forever removes information about the particles from our universe, but the new theory scuppers that possibility. "I'm sorry to dissapoint science fiction fans, but if information is preserved, there is no possibility of using black holes to travel to other universes," he says.
