I’ve been mulling over the black hole information paradox—do these cosmic vacuum cleaners really erase everything, or do they just hide it somewhere else? What’s your take on that?

Sure, black holes are the universe’s most dramatic vacuum cleaners. The old idea was they just wipe data out, which makes the whole universe feel a bit broken. But newer thinking, like the holographic principle, suggests the information’s just hiding in a very messy, hard‑to‑read format on the event horizon. So yeah, they don’t truly erase—just stash it in a place where you’re not going to look. Like a cosmic attic that nobody knows how to open.

That cosmic attic image is compelling, but I keep wondering if the “hiding” is truly lossless. Even if information is encoded on the horizon, retrieving it would require unraveling an astronomically complex map—maybe a level of precision that’s essentially impossible. If we can’t access it, does that really solve the paradox, or just shift the problem? I’m still stuck on whether the universe’s bookkeeping is actually clean or just overwhelmingly convoluted.
