Metaphysicaldata
The laws of quantum mechanics stipulate that physical information, the metaphysicaldata, about material that is gobbled up by a black hole must remain in existence.
A mystery has remained current amongst the physicists that care about this stuff because Einstein reckoned that nothing could survive a black hole, not even the metaphysicaldata.
Hawkings to the rescue; he and some HFA mates have just hypothesised that the metaphysicaldata is stripped as material enters a black hole and remains scrambled at the interface of the black hole as a sort of 2D event horizon hologram (i.e. they haven’t a clue how) thus explaining why it’s not destroyed.
After a gazillion years of existence black holes ‘evaporate’ due to instabilities related to their ability to split the ephemeral quantum particle/antiparticle pairs.
When they evaporate they release the energy/material inside.
Presumably at this moment all that metaphysicaldata would also be released from the surface dimension.
We may in fact be surrounded by a soup of metaphysicaldata from universes that existed before the current big bang universe.
Or, when a universe shrinks to a singularity and then ‘bounces’ in a big bang event, maybe all that metaphysicaldata is also pulled into the singularity and then usefully reused to help reform a universe.
Oh, the possibilities are endless.
Thank god that the fate of all that metaphysicaldata can be readily modelled by everyday human mathematics, or else we’d all be stuffed.
Maybe, just maybe, someone will float the idea that God is actually just all that orphan metaphysicaldata hanging around the universe
In which case we are well on the way to mathematically modelling God.
That’d make Sunday School much more interesting.
