Black Quote by Brian Greene
“Black holes, we all know, are these regions where if an object falls in, it can't get out, but the puzzle that many struggled with over the decades is, what happens to the information that an object contains when it falls into a black hole. Is it simply lost?”

![“But if you think about a practical implication of enriching your life and giving you a sense of being part of a larger cosmos and possibly being able to use this [gravitational waves] as a tool in the future maybe to listen not just to black holes colliding, but maybe listen to the big bang…” quote by Brian Greene](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/706/brian-greene-2334_able_but-if-you-think-about-a-practical-impli_440947.jpg)
