A paradox that stumped scientists for decades has an explanation, as long as the universe has seven dimensions. Stephen Hawking’s theory that black holes eventually evaporate into nothingness presented a contradiction to a fundamental understanding in physics and quantum mechanics. However, a new theory by scientists suggests that black holes never fully disappear and remnants are left behind, as long as there are seven dimensions, three extra to the traditionally accepted four dimensions we have known about for generations. Scientists believe that, as well as length, width, height and time, there are three hidden dimensions in the universe, and they are folded so densely that they cannot be easily perceived. This seems to solve the decades-old ‘information paradox’, as traditionally, the laws of quantum mechanics state that information can never completely disappear or be destroyed, which contradicts Hawking’s theory that back holes eventually evaporate and cease to exist. Senior researcher at the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Richard Pinčák, told the Daily Mail: “Imagine you throw a book into a fire. The book is destroyed, but …
