Can information escape a black hole?

One of the leading researchers is Netta Engelhardt, a 32-year-old theoretical physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She and her colleagues have completed a new calculation that corrects Hawking's 1974 formula; theirs indicates that information does, in fact, escape black holes via their radiation.

How does Stephan Hawking talk?
