The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team captured the first glimpse of a black hole on April 10, 2019 using the earth-spanning network of radio observatories. According to quantum mechanics, data can never be destroyed. But quantum rules say that black holes destroy the information when combined with general relativity. Scientists have proposed amendments to the traditional theory of black holes that could unlock the mystery, but they lack evidence to test them. However, this theory is now supposed to change with the new Event Horizon Telescope, which recently took the first picture of a black hole, as well as with gravitational-wave measurements of black holes colliding.
