I was chiming in on a couple of online conversations going on these last weeks about Stephen Hawking's theories about black holes, posting my 1979 secular revelation about black holes that adds a new perspective that so far I have not seen in the astrophysicist community. Then Stephen Hawkings died a couple days ago. I considered him a rival to my own revelations about Black Holes but really, he was the physicist who added much to our knowledge of black holes and I, well, my stufff runs on different tracks but here and there they do intersect with theoretical science. Like mine did in 1979.
NBC today posted this on their blog about the question Stephen Hawkings couldn't answer. Where does all the information in the universe go if black holes eventually suck everything into themselves?
NBC: "THE INFORMATION PARADOX
For all Hawking’s remarkable insights, he was never able to solve one of the greatest puzzles involving black holes.
Every star is associated with lots of information — ranging from its shape and chemical composition to how fast it spins. But when a star collapses to become a black hole, it seems that all that information is lost forever.
But this appears to violate a bedrock concept of quantum physics, the rules that describe how the universe works at the atomic and subatomic levels. Quantum physics holds that information can never truly be lost.
“The reason why this is upsetting to physicists is that all our current theories of the universe assume that the amount of information in the world stays constant,” Lightman says. “You can move information from one place to another, but you cannot destroy it.”
Exactly what happens to the lost information contained within stars when they collapse remains a mystery, although Hawking — who spent 40 years on the problem — came up with a number of possible solutions.
In the early 2000s, he proposed that the information isn’t actually lost but is somehow encoded in the radiation black holes emit. But neither Hawking nor his colleagues came up with anything resembling a concrete proof. Thus the so-called “information paradox” remains unsolved — and may stay unsolved for the foreseeable future.

Or it just might be that the Whole Earth Telescope — a project that links 30 observatories in 12 countries to create an Earth-sized telescope — will detect a tiny black hole and actually observe Hawking radiation. If that were to happen, physicists could probe for clues as to whether this radiation does indeed encode the missing information.
“The black holes we know about are so large that their Hawking radiation is predicted to be much fainter than even the background light in the cosmos, too faint to pick up,” Carroll says. “If we could identify a really tiny black hole, the radiation emitted would be much larger.”
COSMIC INSPIRATION
Hawking himself might not have been surprised should the real answer to the information paradox be far stranger. In one of his final published works, Hawking argued that black holes might serve as gateways to parallel universes and that missing information might actually be transferred to those universes.
Whatever the truth, Hawking remained convinced that by attempting to understand the universe’s inner workings, humans can learn valuable lessons about themselves. As he explained in a 2015 lecture, black holes offer can their own form of inspiration.
“Black holes are not the eternal prisons they were once thought,” he said. “Things can get out of a black hole both on the outside and possibly come out in another universe. If you feel you are trapped in a black hole, don't give up. There is a way out."
Yes, there is a way out but it's through the tunnel of Light, not the tunnel of darkness, Black Holes. I have the certainty that comes with religious visionary inspiration so for myself I can claim I do know where all the lost stellar information, where all information goes when it disappears forever to us in the Black Hole phenomena. Here's my revelation about black holes written in 1979:
"The end of the Universe and Key to the Unified Field Theory
Black Holes are the keys to the physical ending of our known universe and the keys to the discovery of the mathematical formulas which attempt to unite the puzzling similarities between the structures and forces operating in the macro-universe of stars, galaxies, and gravitational attraction, and the structures and forces of the micro-universe of atoms, sub-atomic particles, and electromagnetism. Black Holes are also the key to the mystery of where hydrogen atom come from.
Science tells us that Black Holes are the last stage in the evolution of stars of sufficient mass that have so exhausted their atomic fuel in continuous fusion reaction that the remaining atomic matter loses internal coherence and self-implodes. This inward collapse of each atom's nuclear structure in turn creates a compressive effect that allows for incredible densities to occur in the remaining star matter. These super densities in their turn create super gravitational "pulls" which become strong enough in Black Hole stars to literally suck all radiation energy still remaining back into the stars themselves including radiated light so that all that can be seen of such stars are areas of lightless space- Black Holes.
Insights I have received would add these observations: Black Holes are the recycling centers of the universe and the universe's brakes on itself, on its outward expansion created from the original Big Bang explosion of its birth. Black Holes are distributed throughout time and space matching the distribution of stars. Black Holes act as literal vacuum cleaners of all matter and energy, and most importantly, time itself. The force of gravity (or curvature of space) is so immense in the Black Hole phenomena that following Einstein's theory of relativity, timed events slow to a complete stop as they disappear altogether in the Black Hole left by the dying star.
The fabric of time and space, Einstein's time/space continuum, is left distorted around the areas of Black Holes and since these holes are distributed throughout the universe, there is a continual if gradual warping and sucking of all stars systems into the universal Black Hole annihilation network and a continuous destruction of time and space itself--Entropy.
What happens to the matter and energy that disappears from our universe into nowhere in these Black Holes? It is reborn again, synchronized in time and space as one tremendous explosion, the original Big Bang itself which occurred 15 to 20 billion years ago in our time perspective, but as Einstein pointed out, such time being completely relative to our present position in space and not absolute- there is no absolute time scale. The cycle of the universe is therefore eternally Finite-- a closed system.
Hydrogen atoms are born through the Black Hole/Big Bang transformation. Hydrogen atoms are blown out as a gigantic clouds of interstellar dust to eventually coalesce into stars again which in turn provide the conditions for further and more complex combinations of these atoms becoming the rest of the basic elements. Hydrogen atoms are the transformed and super compressed structures of Black Hole stars.
All atomic nuclear reactions release the super compressed gravitational energy that has been transformed into nuclear binding and electromagnetism. For some reason I get the impression there is danger in releasing such energy here on Earth not only from the known dangers of radiation but also from the warpage of the fabric of time surrounding our world."
This revelation accompanied the one above.
"Since everywhere eventually becomes the same, there won't be many signs of Others*
Because our universe is finite there is an end conceivable to the discovery of new places and new physical laws. There will not be many, perhaps not any, traces of other space traveling civilizations because at this point of understanding the only real unknown lies in the realm of the Spirit. Like the Bermuda Triangle, Black Holes stand as symbols to all scientists that the real ultimate mystery lies in that other realm beyond the physical."
I added this in 2012:
"* Famed alien hunter quits research center after 35 years of searching
Los Angeles Times - - Wed, 05/23/2012
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - - Astronomer Jill Tarter - - perhaps the best-known, real-life alien hunter around - - is stepping down as head of the Center for SETI Research, halting a 35-year career of actively searching for extraterrestrial intelligence."
According to my theory of Black Holes all information is never lost because it's all synchronized in the Black Hole annihilation network and spewed back out to us as the original Big Bang. Every hydrogen atom would contain either part of all information or all of it somehow squeezed in by the Black Hole compression process.
It would be a closed system, eternally recycling itself. Our existence would in essence would consist of being "played" in this eternal drama of the time-space continuum. There would be no way out except the one already provided through that other tunnel of seeming annihilation, the tunnel of Light and into that other world beyond which always stays at the edge of our collective consciousness one way or another.
