Part 9/16:
This idea was championed by Leonard Susskind and others, proposing that black holes are fundamentally two-dimensional objects encoding three-dimensional information. Such a model implies that the information that falls into a black hole never truly disappears into a singularity; instead, it is retained on the event horizon's surface. When the black hole evaporates via Hawking radiation, this information can, in principle, be recovered from the emitted radiation.
