Physicists Think They've Finally Cracked Stephen Hawking's Famous Black Hole Paradox

At the heart of every black hole sits a problem. As they sizzle away into nothingness over the eons, they take with them a small piece of the Universe. Which, quite frankly, just isn't in the rule book.

It's a paradox the late Stephen Hawking left us with as a part of his revolutionary work on these monstrous objects, inspiring researchers to tinker with potential solutions for the better part of half a century.

I think they may be the remains of white dwarfs impeding vision beyond a debris cloud.

So THAT’s why there’s chewing gum in my lint trap. Mystery solved.
