After 30 years of trying to defend his proposition that information is irretrievable once it is caught in a black hole, Hawking now concedes that he is mistaken. Information is not lost, the reason being that there are alternate worlds where no black holes exist. I guess he assumes that information embedded in the subatomic structure of matter somehow continues to be present in these alternate or parallel worlds where there are no black holes. My own quarks, gluons, etc. therefore cannot be lost even when my human structure disintegrates. If he is right, these lines in this space will never be destroyed even when I am gone from this cosmos... Thought is a form of energy - I think much akin to divine energy. And even physical scientists maintain "energy cannot be destroyed." Yet it has also been shown or at least theorized that every particle of matter has its corresponding anti-matter, and that when these two collide they disintegrate each other. The question that comes to mind is where then did that supposedly 'indestructible' energy go? Perhaps, God too has a sort of container or bin where the subatomic components of matter, like broken pieces of clay vessels, are recycled, remolded, reformed for possible re-use (or in respect to some of us, for further re-training, repolishing and testing in 'boot-camp' Planet Earth or in some other more appropriate dimension somewhere in His Infinite Multiverse...) Speculation at this time is futile. Better minds may formulate newer theories in the future. Despite my manifestly non-scientific methodology, I can only hope that the energy I've expended here in these ponderings could also be shown to be not entirely incorrect and was not a total waste of time.
