Black holes are complicated beasts. They have consistently broken our physics and studying them has opened our eyes to the limitations of our knowledge. One crucial problem is the Information Paradox. Matter can’t escape black holes so, simplistically, once something gets in, its information is lost forever.
That’s a big no-no in physics. The Information Paradox was one of the areas that the late Stephen Hawking focused on. His and others' work led to the understanding that black holes evaporate and
