Are black holes write-only or is any information fed into them destroyed? And by information I mean even like “let’s do binary by shoving ten thousand stars into one to represent a 1 bit”



Seems like the consensus is that the information does get out by the time the black hole evaporates, and probably via the Hawking radiation (there's not really another mechanism), but exactly how is contested and may be untestable.
