Stephen Hawking’s infamous black hole paradox may be solved if the universe has seven dimensions

Diagram of a 7-dimensional twisted knot. It is theorized that it exerts a repulsive force that prevents black holes from evaporating.

New theoretical research suggests that black hole While it may not completely evaporate, this contradicts Stephen Hawking’s infamous theory and appears to violate the fundamental laws of the universe. quantum mechanics. Instead, black holes may leave behind small, stable remnants that store all the information they once consumed, the study suggests. But there’s a twist, … Read more
