Physicists Theorize Out How To Retrieve Information From a Black Hole (sciencemag.org)

sciencehabit writes: Black holes earn their name because their gravity is so strong not even light can escape from them. Oddly, though, physicists have come up with a bit of theoretical sleight of hand to retrieve a speck of information that's been dropped into a black hole. The calculation touches on one of the biggest mysteries in physics: how all of the information trapped in a black hole leaks out as the black hole 'evaporates.' Many theorists think that must happen, but they don't know how.

    It's more of a brown hole. Many people refer to it, as well as the politician/ceo/salesman, as an "ass" or "asshole".
