Hawkins Information paradox on my limited understanding means, that after a black hole "ends" all the matter with it gets destroyed. This shouldn't be because matter can never be destroyed it just gets changed to something else like energy or heat etc.
Stephen Hawkins' explanation to this was that as there are other universes and some of them are without those black holes so no information is lost..... What?
Could someone please explain it to me in lay man's terms or in semi-technical language, what is the logic behind all this because I can't see it. And are alternate universes even a commonly accepted explanation for the Hawkins' information paradox?
