Though Hawking has not yet revealed the detailed maths behind his finding, sketchy details have emerged from a seminar Hawking gave at Cambridge.

Hope he's figured out a way to "read" the information leaking out of black holes. It'd be beyond fascinating to know what's going on inside.

"Information" as the term is used in cosmology and quantum mechanics has a decidedly different meaning than what is commonly meant by it.

There's a possibility that the so-called Hawking Radiation is information in itself..
The possibility is that it can be read..

As to what that information could be is possibly the clue or the proof.. well, who knows at this point..
This is just as momentous as the recent discovery of possbile neutrino resonance.. and the possibility of changing neutrino states...

New science? New disciplines?
