If information cannot be destroyed, what happens to the matter that falls into a black hole? This question brought two fundamental theories into conflict: Einstein’s general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. This confrontation became known as the “information paradox.” In this popular science film, we will: ▪️ Trace the history of a great discovery: from John Michell’s prediction of “Dark Stars” in 1784 to the triumphant confirmation of the existence of the first black hole candidate, Cygnus X-1. ▪️ See what the invisible looks like. Find out who created the first image of a black hole and how, and compare it with real images from the Event Horizon Telescope. ▪️ Attempt to find out what happens to information that enters the zone of a black hole, and how the quantum ideas of Bekenstein, ‘t Hooft, and Susskind led scientists to a revolutionary hypothesis.
