Ugh!!! I just can't stop thinking about them. It's just that I get so frustrated with black holes, trying to figure out what's inside, and what happens to the information that goes inside. I mean what lies on the other side of a black hole? Like, what would happen if I throw my immunology book inside of a black hole? Is all of that information lost? It's just that according to Einstein's general relativity laws, nothing can ever come out of a black hole. But what about quantum theory? I mean, there are some black holes that do radiate. What about mini black holes? They radiate. According to Stephen Hawking, I remember reading in one of my physics books that he thinks that mini black holes eventually evaporate and disappear. He thinks (based on his mathematical evidence) that anything that went in, never comes back out. This is what I find to be so frustrating because the laws of quantum therory says that information can never be completely destroyed. I dunno, it's just that how do we know the information that went in isn't preserved and instead comes out subtly? I just think the question of what happens to the information that goes into a black hole is (IMO) not fully settled. It's just that I'm speaking of the chemical composition of the objects that went into the black hole, and other aspects of them, like their color, their temperature etc. those kinds of things. I mean, I love Stephen Hawking, but no one really knows what happens to that information, including him. And this really aggravates me! See, this is why I am so glad I chose vet medicine as a profession, because I woud go freaking nuts over not knowing everything about the universe, especially my obsession with black holes. Or at least most things that I think we need to know.
