Can a New Law of Physics Explain a Black Hole Paradox?
When the theoretical physicist Leonard Susskind encountered a head-scratching paradox about black holes, he turned to an unexpected place: computer science. In nature, most self-contained systems eventually reach thermodynamic equilibrium … but not black holes. The interior volume of a … Continue reading
