Stephen Hawking often speaks of the thermodynamic entropy of black holes in terms of their information content. Do black holes destroy information? It appears that there are deep relations between the entropy of a black hole and information loss See Black hole thermodynamics and Black hole information paradox.

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or holes:

    “If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.”
    —Malcolm X (1925–1965)

    “And as my wit doth best devise,
    Love’s dwelling is in ladies’ eyes,
    From whence do glance love’s piercing darts,
    That make such holes into our hearts;
    And all the world herein accord,
    Love is a great and mighty lord;”
    —George Peele (1559–1596)
