The biggest paradoxes afflicting theoretical physicists have been solved by scientists.
Their theory could change how we understand black holes and the laws that govern the physics of the universe.
The problem has been solved by these scientists, according to a new paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters.
Einstein's general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics have been irreconcilable because of the paradoxes.
Einstein argues that what goes into a black hole can come back to life. That's impossible according to quantum mechanics.
Our basic understanding of how the Universe works is at risk if either theory is wrong. Even if a particle is destroyed, the information about it is not lost. Black holes emit particles which no longer hold any information, in the form of stinging radiation.
Clamet and his international team of collaborators claim to have a new solution in the form of the "yes hair theorem".
They suggest that quantum hair allows information to be sucked into a black hole and come out again, without violating Einstein's general theory of relativity or quantum mechanics.
It's an apt name, since it's likely referencing a previous attempt to reconcile the two theories, the no hair theorem and the one that was first suggested by American theoretical physicist John Wheeler in the 1960s. Wheeler claimed that black holes werebald and had no other physical features beyond mass, electric charge, and spin.
The new theory won't end the discussion, but we may not have to admit the theories were flawed.
The consequences of general relativity and quantum mechanics being incompatible was discussed by the BBC.
