Neither in classical nor in quantum mechanics information can be destoyed. But black holes seem to be an exception from this fundamental law of nature.

A new paper tries to unite quantum physics and Einsteins's general relativity based upon Planck scale formalism. Unfortunately Sabine Hossenfelder doesn't know what Planck scale formalism is supposed to be, neither do I. However, the new paper is kind of entertaining. It claims to explain so many things all in one. Quote [4m48s]: a lot of crap papers get published. Relax and enjoy:

The scientific method requires an open minded community and freedom of speech to discuss controversial topics. But sometimes there are unpleasant results. Revealing the truth may have effects on someone's reputation. This is where a replacement for the scientific method comes into play: the law.
