TL;DR Summary

Physicists have proposed a new theory that could resolve the information paradox of black holes, which was first proposed by Stephen Hawking. The theory involves encoding the interior information of a black hole into its exterior using a two-step algorithm. The first step scrambles the information, while the second step involves postselection, a process that allows for desired outcomes. The encoded information exists in the radiation outside the black hole, and as the black hole evaporates, the interior information becomes increasingly detached from reality. The theory suggests that semiclassical physics fails to accurately capture phenomena that require exponential complexity. While some physicists have raised questions and alternative solutions, others have found the theory intriguing and are exploring its implications.
