                Black hole information paradox possible solutions.
              
          
    Question: How does information get out of the black hole?
Proposed options:

It doesn't get out -- black hole doesn't evaporate fully, information is in remnants.

*Problem*: Pathological properties. Remnants of the Planck scale (where Hawking's black hole radiation calculations fail) enclose a huge amount of entropy.


Information never falls through the horizon ("brick wall").
