PROFESSOR Stephen Hawking has shocked the scientific community by radically claiming there are no black holes.
In an article by Nature it is reported that Hawking, who is responsible for creating the theories on what we know about black holes today, has done away with notions science has held true for almost 40 years.
He claims the event horizon - an invisible boundary covering every black hole beyond which nothing, not even light can escape - do not exist.
Instead what Hawking suggests is an "apparent horizon", which temporarily traps matter and energy before releasing it into space.
"There is no escape from a black hole in classical theory," Hawking told Nature. Quantum theory, however, "enables energy and information to escape from a black hole".
Now buckle up - here's where it all gets a bit confusing...

Honestly, it makes a lot of sense. Nothing can just vanish into nothing because it went through something, it probably just breaks up into pieces you could never put back together.
