From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_information_paradox Not that I know why that "commonly assumed tenet of science" is so commonly assumed... :/The black hole information paradox results from the combination of quantum mechanics and general relativity. It suggests that physical information could permanently disappear in a black hole, allowing many physical states to devolve into the same state. This is controversial because it violates a commonly assumed tenet of science—that in principle complete information about a physical system at one point in time should determine its state at any other time.

As soon as I have the time, I'm going on a hunt to know why that is. I'll report back.
