For the past several decades, scientists have argued on the point that anything that enters a black hole is lost. They also though that black holes absorb information and disappear afterwards without leaving behind any traces of what they might have contained.

But a recently conducted study claims that the matter that gets absorbed by the black holes is not lost forever.

It is known that Stephen Hawking proposed the theory that matter gets destroyed after entering a black hole.

According to Hawking, as black holes emit radiation energy it is natural that they would in the end exhaust and evaporate. But the rules of quantum mechanics state that all information must be conserved, which contradicts the Hawking's theory.

It was found that Prof. Hawking also admitted that he was wrong and said that it is possible for information to escape from black holes. But now the question before scientists was how the information can be recovered.

Lead author Dejan Stojkovic of the University of Buffalo along with Anshul Saini, PhD student the University of Buffalo, clearly explained in the study how the interaction between the particles emanated by black holes can give information about what it contains within.

According to the study, information about the matter at the core of the black hole can be obtained from outside the black hole. And the only thing one needs to observe is the interaction of particles such as gravitational attraction.

Earlier scientists believed that the connections between particles are too minute so the correlation leads nowhere.

But the new study states that the interactions develop over time and grow large enough to affect calculations to a noticeable degree.

Stojkovic affirmed that despite the fact that the correlations are very small in the starting but with time they become so large that they can modify the outcome.

Researchers associated with the study hope that new findings may be a solution to the long-debated subject of black holes or they may just stir up the discussions around it.
