A spinning coin is both heads and tails—until photographed. Near a black hole, passing photons act like a camera, forcing a quantum particle to pick one state. The 'photo' falls into the hole, vanishing forever. This explains how black holes erase quantum fuzziness while respecting cosmic memory rules.
🎯 A black hole's information capacity is measured by its surface area, not its volume—a counterintuitive result that emerged from Bekenstein and Hawking's work.
