Note the British use of the plural "maths" instead of the Colonial singular "math." It will be an interesting paper. Extreme things always are.

Better than my theory which just had someone coming by every night and emptying all of the black holes.

This might be applied immediately to the paradox of the mature-looking galaxies found too soon after the Big Bang. That is, there was no Big Bang, but a fuzzy fwoop.

It seems that black holes may after all allow information within them to escape. Only the democrat ones.

Though Hawking has not yet revealed the detailed maths behind his finding, sketchy details have emerged from a seminar Hawking gave at Cambridge. Hope he's figured out a way to "read" the information leaking out of black holes. It'd be beyond fascinating to know what's going on inside.
To: PatrickHenry
They argued that "information swallowed by a black hole is forever hidden, and can never be revealed". I think I got that from a fortune cookie once.

The most important question in all this is how will it affect the STARGATE universe? Carter is going to have to adjust her techno-jargon, and the DeLouise boys are going to have to bone up.

Hawking requested at the last minute that he be allowed to present his findings at the 17th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation in Dublin, Ireland. "He sent a note saying 'I have solved the black hole information paradox and I want to talk about it'," says Curt Cutler, a physicist at the Albert Einstein Institute in Golm, Germany, who is chairing the conference's scientific committee.
"And I said, 'Sorry, sir. If you wanted to speak, you should have applied six months ago. Wait until next year!'" ;-)

After nearly 30 years of arguing that a black hole destroys everything that falls into it, Stephen Hawking is saying he was wrong. It seems that black holes may after all allow information within them to escapeUnlike the NY Times, which doesn't allow information to escape.

Nothing I've ever seen has changed my opinion that if Hawking were in a normal body, he wouldn't enjoy 1/10th the reputation he has now.
