Course Description

Overview

In the 1970s, Stephen Hawking realized that the quantum nature of black holes meant that current theories of quantum mechanics and relativity, which normally conserve information, were incomplete. String theorist Samir Mathur has been working for many years on this yet-unsolved problem and has developed a radical proposal to the so-called information paradox.
