This phenomenon, now dubbed \u201cHawking radiation,\u201d seems inherently at odds with general relativity, but it gets weirder still: If particles can escape, do they preserve some information about the matter that was obliterated? Leonard Susskind, a physicist at Stanford University, found himself at odds with Hawking when it came to answering this question. In this episode, co-host Janna Levin speaks with Susskind about the \u201cblack hole war\u201d that ensued and the powerful scientific lessons that have radiated from one of the most famous paradoxes in physics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Episode \u00b7 The Joy of Why \u00b7 Nothing escapes a black hole\u2026 or does it?
