Others have tackled that conundrum and solved it to their satisfaction using various mathematical stratagems. But, says Juan Maldacena, a string theorist at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., who has worked on the question, "what wasn't done was to explain precisely what was wrong with Hawking's original calculations in the '70s." Now Hawking claims to have done so. By doing the calculations a different way, he has convinced himself that the radiation flowing from a black hole actually carries information about the hole back out into the universe, although in a mangled form...
...hottest area of physics. Many of the big developments in string physics--the kind of ideas that break through theoretical logjams and bring everyone to a deeper level of understanding--can be traced to Witten. "Most other people have made one or two such contributions," says Juan Maldacena, who, like Witten, is at Einstein's old stomping ground, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. "Ed has made...
Over the past three years, three other Harvard professors have been awarded fellowships: McKay Professor of Applied Physics and Professor of Physics Lene Hau, Loeb Associate Professor of the Natural Sciences Daniel P. Schrag, and Professor of Physics Juan M. Maldacena...

...When Maldacena transformed his string-theory black hole into something resembling conventional particle physics, his colleagues reacted first with disbelief, then with delight, dancing and singing (in a spoof of the Macarena), "!Ehhhh, Maldacena...
