Physicists have long pondered the black hole information paradox: where does the information go when black holes evaporate? A novel hypothesis suggests that the universe may have seven dimensions, not four. This theory proposes that three extra, tightly curled dimensions create a torsion field that prevents black holes from completely disappearing.
Instead of evaporating entirely, black holes would leave behind a minuscule remnant capable of storing all the information that ever fell into them, thus solving the paradox. This concept also offers potential explanations for particle physics phenomena like the origin of mass. While direct experimental proof is challenging, potential evidence might be found in the Cosmic Microwave Background or gravitational waves.
