TIL Stephen Hawking lost a bet to physicist John Preskill on whether information in a black hole is recoverable as it evaporates. He discovered black hole evaporation and held for 30 years that information is destroyed in the process. He conceded in 2004 and offered Preskill a Baseball encyclopedia. theory.caltech.edu/~presk…

TIL that in 1975, Stephen Hawking bet Kip Thorne a subscription to Penthouse for Thorne against four years of Private Eye for him that Cygnus X-1 wasn't a black hole. Hawking later explained that if black holes didn't exist, much of his research would be incorrect, but at least he'd have won the bet en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci…

Kip Thorne won a scientific bet against Stephen Hawking upon the astrophysics theory that underlies Interstellar (2014). As a consequence, Hawking had to subscribe to Penthouse magazine for a year. This famous bet is depicted in The Theory of Everything (2014) which was released in the same year. youtu.be/9H59oE7n05M

Kip Thorne / Stephen Hawking Movie

I just re-listened to Kip Thorne's episode from two years ago, and Kip mentioned that he had a new movie in development that he had written with Stephen Hawking and Lynda Obst. Has anyone heard anything about that? I can't even find a single mention of it online.

Spoilers* Kip Thorne and Stephen Hawking

Just an observation but Kip Throrne believes that information isn't lost when it goes into a black hole whereas Stephen Hawking believes it is.

Despite that from an outside observers perspective, it takes an infinite amount of time to enter a black hole, from the subjects point of view it takes a finite amount of time and if you went into a black hole that was big enough, you could go past the event horizon without being immediately spaghettified (which the film capitalises on)

So the ending isn't as hokey as it sounds - but it still doesn't solve the paradox of if cooper had a telescope, he could watch himself enter the black hole from Brands planet.
