I was interacting here with a scientist named 'Abhas Mitra'. He has infact once questioned Stephen Hawking and said that the matter in black holes are not destroyed but the information is preserved or probably passed on... where to???

Therefore, black holes must be the oldest objects in the universe at their last stages of evolution. But this is no problem if a hypothesis is verified that order can emerge from total complete chaos.
