Hawking postulated that matter that entered into a black hole was destroyed. Physicist (Former plumber from the Bronx) Leonard Susskind for decades argued that matter could neither be created or destroyed.

I believe Hawking radiation was an attempt by Hawking to modify his theory to correct this. So if this radiation is confirmed…that is interesting as it was perceived as a bandaid.

Wouldn’t that mean that the matter wasn’t destroyed, but changed forms to radiation?
