The Black Hole War
Archival Summary & Scope
Los Angeles Times Book Prize Winner, 2008.*The Black Hole War* chronicles the decades-long scientific battle sparked by Stephen Hawking's controversial claim that information is lost in black holes, threatening the foundations of physics. Physicists Leonard Susskind and Gerard 't Hooft challenged Hawking's theory, initiating an intellectual struggle to reconcile it with quantum mechanics. This ultimately led to Hawking's famous admission of error and the profound realization of the holographic principle, suggesting our universe is a projection from its outer boundaries.
