In models of fuzzy black holes, information flickers like a knot on a tangled thread.

Instead of a smooth horizon, a black hole could be a fluffy tangle. New research shows that the information stored inside flickers like a faulty lightbulb—sometimes visible, sometimes gone. This trick doesn't resolve the famous paradox, it just adds more mysteries.

🎯 From the outside, this tangle looks exactly like an ordinary black hole. You can tell them apart only by quantum jitters near the horizon—so subtle that detecting them is currently impossible.
