Interesting indeed ! Information that survives may be valuable. What's more impressive is that Hawking is able to admit he's wrong. No wonder he's so smart!
Hawking is indeed a remarkable individual. He is even more remarkable when considering the considerable handicaps he has had to overcome. In other times, he might even be a heroic figure. Too bad that this day and age tends to make heroes and role models of people of far lesser traits.
"A Brief History of Time" has kept me watching Prof. Hawking for years. If he has truly solved this paradox, he will be remembered as history's greatest thinker.
