Well, it has been one day shy of an entire month since Stephen Hawking released a paper, reversing his beliefs on the physics surrounding black holes. Hawking has spent the last 40 years promoting the views that are now widely accepted as well as taught in schools.
His previous views were based on the Theory of General Relativity, however, he is favoring quantum physics with his new research. He is mainly discrediting the current perception of the event horizon, which information, as we know it, is lost. To fit nicely with unitarity, there is now an āapparent horizonā where information gets mixed. The information is also now only held temporarily, until conditions are right within the black hole and itās apparent horizon are right, and then it is expelled.
Here is a news article (they probably make it much clearer than I can) about his paper:
