This is the argument that reigned for a decade
amongst physicists......a Law conceived by religious scientists in the face of their belief in the
Creator God,that matter cannot be created or destroyed... & therefore information cannot be lost from this universe.
So Hawking at first suggested that information was
lost in black holes,therefore breaking one of the
fundamental laws of (god) Science.....Many physicists
were unhappy with this proposal and so a decade later
Hawking re-worked his mathemagics,to keep the information in this universe... at the event horizons of so called black holes.
From this new agreement sprung the Holographic model
of the universe.
