The problem: The Black Hole Information Paradox and its supposed contradiction between general relativity and quantum mechanics.
The misinterpretation: The assumption that information (quantum state) must be preserved in a retrievable form.
The resolution: Recognizing that only fundamental quantities (energy, momentum, particles) are conserved while structure undergoes irreversible transformation.
Key implications: No event horizon, no information paradox, and no need for speculative solutions like holography or firewalls.
