Thank you, Roy Ng for this new and
interesting discovery:
According to Stephen Hawking this
means that the leaking of this radiation would ultimately cause the black hole
to completely evaporate, leaving a vacuum behind and causing a loss of
information - this has come to be known as 'Hawking radiation'.
Hawking's research showed that
black holes emit radiation — colloquially known as 'quantum hair' — in the form
of thermal energy. Due to its thermal nature, this radiation isn't able to
carry information about the stars that birthed the black holes.
These findings, however, are in
contrast with the laws of quantum mechanics, stating that information cannot be
destroyed and that an object’s final state can still retain clues about its
origin, hence generating the paradox.
However, research from study
authors Xavier Calmet, a professor of physics at the University of Sussex, and
Steve Hsu, a professor of theoretical physics at Michigan State University,
introduces a tweak to Hawking's calculations which would make the radiation
'non-thermal,' and thus capable of carrying information.
"Calmet and Hsu findings is
the final nail in the coffin for the paradox because we now understand the
exact physical phenomenon by which information escapes a decaying black
hole," Calmet told Live Science.
"Starting from the radiation
we should be able to rebuild the original black hole and then eventually the
star," he continued.
Calmet and Hsu reassessed Hawking's
theory factoring in the effects of 'quantum gravity,' that is the description
of gravity according to the principles of quantum mechanics.
"While these quantum
gravitational corrections are minuscule, they are crucial for black hole
evaporation," Calmet explained”.
A black hole is a region
of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing,
including light or other electromagnetic waves, has enough
energy to escape its event horizon.
The theory of general
relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform
spacetime to form a black hole. The boundary of no escape is called
the event horizon. Although it has a great effect on the fate and
circumstances of an object crossing it, it has no locally detectable features
according to general relativity. In many ways, a black hole acts like an
ideal black body, as it reflects no light. Moreover, quantum
field theory in curved spacetime predicts that event horizons
emit Hawking radiation, with the same spectrum as a black body
of a temperature inversely proportional to its mass. This temperature
is of the order of billionths of a kelvin for stellar black
holes, making it essentially impossible to observe directly.
Inside a black hole, the gravity is
so powerful that nothing, not even light can escape. Light made up of photons
has no mass, but energy. Its energy is so weak compared with the force of
gravity within the event horizon of a black hole that makes it impossible for
light to escape. However, light is made up of photons.
Photons are the smallest units
of light that have no mass. But according to Einstein mass and energy are
interrelated as shown by his famous equation E = mc2 where its
mass (m) multiplied by the square of the speed of light = energy
emitted. Hence my personal feeling is, light consisting of photos may have mass
after all, but they are so small that their mass can never be detected or
measured. We may say that the energy of light and its mass no matter how small
exist together as relativistic mass.
In such a case light that has
very weak energy and even far weaker mass would never be able to escape the
horrendously powerful clutches of gravity inside a black hole up to the radius
of the event horizon.
But what about the soul of a dead
person that has neither mass nor energy? Because of its absence of both
mass and energy it can never be detected let alone measured by scientists using
any instrument. Soul is the living spirit of a living person that leaves the
physical body on death of the physical body, and in no way can a soul be
detected or measured by any science that we know of. I have often said
that the entire heavens (as religions call them but is called the Universe by
science) can be destroyed, but not the soul that lives on for all eternity.
Using logic, I have just described
that the soul that has neither mass nor energy, would be able to enter into any
black hole and leave it at any time without being affected by any gravitation
field and without being detected.
This tallies with what was written
in Revelation in the Bible that tells us heavens and earth and all the works
there in will be destroyed in fervent heat as described here:
"But the day of the Lord will
come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and
the works that are therein shall be burned up" (2 Peter 3:10).
I only partially agree with Stephen
Hawking that information about the origin and birth of stars and black holes
will be destroyed, and the thermal radiation (Hawking’s radiation) emitted will
not carry any information about the previous birth of stars which to me also
means previous heavens and earth.
But I strongly believe this does
not apply to the soul that is immortal because souls are not thermal or heat
radiations. Neither are souls Hawking’s radiation remains. It applies only to
the physical body of those who have died. They too will not be remembered as
given in these three verses:
For the living know that they will
die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of
them is forgotten (Ecclesiastes 9:5)
“For behold, I create new heavens
and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into
mind (Isaiah 65:17)
"And I saw a new heaven and a
new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there
was no more sea" (Revelation 21).
However, when a new heaven and
earth is created after the present one is destroyed, we can still see the souls
of those who have died in the vision of a new heaven and earth. Some, not
all the souls, would be transferred there to the new earth as clearly foretold
here:
"And I saw thrones, and they
sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them
that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which
had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark
upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ
a thousand years" (Revelation 20:4).
As already explained, the souls of
the dead are not thermal radiation, and hence they can still carry information
about themselves, and they can remember all their past events.
Thus, I fully agree with Professor
Xavier Calmet and Professor Steve Hsu who both said that some information
remains even if the entire universe and black holes are destroyed.
Calmet and Hsu noted how, according
to the laws of quantum physics, information cannot be created nor destroyed,
comparing the life of a black hole to a movie that 'could be rewound'. So is
the immortal soul whose life experiences can be rewound and recalled.
This means after a series of birth
and rebirth of new heavens and earths it would be like a rewound movie as
Calmet and Hsu mentioned after they recalculated Steven Hawking’s theory. So
are the souls that are immortal that remember all the information of their past
lives.
This was what I have also written
many times about the immortal soul, the recycling of the entire Universe
together with the recycling of birth and death through their eternal souls in
my blog articles.
This shows how new scientific
discoveries can be in tandem with what is revealed in the Bible.
Unfortunately, a lot of scientists
are spiritually blind to this as they only can see and measure objects that are
material and physical including light they can see or heat they can feel, or
measure with a thermometer.
