A really good read is "The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics" by Leonard Susskind, a professor of theoretical physics at Stanford (see Wikipedia, if you do not want to read the book). I am probably not telling a number of you something you do not already know, but for those who do not: Hawking postulates information entering a black hole is lost forever as the black hole evaporates, while Susskind took an opposing stance. Like the writings of Feynman, there is no lack of humor in the BHW, BTW, women do not present a mystery--just never say no! 73, lh On 1/5/2012 8:40 PM, D P Pierce wrote:
