Unraveling the Black Hole Information Paradox

Delve into the black hole information paradox: why information might not be lost even as a black hole evaporates. We explain unitarity, Hawking radiation, and the Page curve, then compare major proposals—string-theory ideas like fuzzballs and soft hair, loop quantum gravity remnants, and Penrose's controversial conformal cyclic cosmology. Along the way we explore what each scenario would mean for the fate of information—and whether clues might lie in the cosmic microwave background.
