Resolving Hawking's Information Paradox Within Established Physics Juliet Zhong Independent Researcher 8 July 2026 | ORCID: 0009-0006-5099-3671 AI research Tool: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Abstract This work re-examines Hawking’s black hole information paradox entirely within the framework of established physics. By integrating general relativity, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and information theory, this work argues that Hawking’s information paradox need not constitute a fundamental paradox: the apparent contradiction arises from conflating inaccessible information with destroyed information. Hawking radiation is not interpreted as particles escaping fr...
