Steven Hawking raised profound issues concerning the loss of information in black hole evaporation and the consistency of quantum mechanics in a world with gravity.Black holes (Astronomy)Black holes (Astronomy)HolographyString modelsAstronomy & AstrophysicsHILCCPhysical Sciences & MathematicsHILCCAstrophysicsHILCCElectronic books.Black holes (Astronomy).Black holes (Astronomy)HolographyString modelsAstronomy & AstrophysicsPhysical Sciences & MathematicsAstrophysics523.8875Susskind Leonard447974Lindesay James786076AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910450448703321An Introduction to Black Holes, Information and the String Theory Revolution2154634UNINA
