nice read man! thats some interesting shit.
One of Hawking's earlier theories involved the "destruction" of matter/data through black holes until he realized the answer was that the singularity opened up somewhere else and expelled matter/data there, like a parallel universe. What's really crazy is that Hawking's mission has essentially been to 'solve' black holes, and he does *so much* in his head..
