Stephen
Hawking has produced a “mind-bending” new theory that argues black
holes do not actually exist -- at least not in the way we currently
perceive them.
Instead, in his paper, Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes,
Hawking proposes that black holes can exist without “event horizons,”
the invisible cover believed to surround every black hole.

During a previous lecture, “Into the Black Hole,”
Hawkins described an event horizon as the boundary of a black hole, “where gravity is just strong enough to drag light back, and prevent it
escaping.”
“Falling through the event horizon, is a bit like going
over Niagara Falls in a canoe,” he said. “If you are above the falls,
you can get away if you paddle fast enough, but once you are over the
edge, you are lost. There's no way back.

But now Hawking is proposing “apparent horizons” could exist instead, which would only hold light and information temporarily before releasing them back into space in “garbled form,” Nature has reported.
The internationally-renowned theoretical physicist suggests that quantum mechanics and general relativity remain intact, but black holes do not have an event horizon to catch fire. More

The
coming stage of [our spiritual and cultural] evolution, Teilhard de Chardin said, won't be driven by
physical adaptation but by human consciousness, creativity, and spirit.
