   The question: Is Time a fundamental part of Reality?   
      
   "One of the earliest cracks appeared in black hole physics. When Stephen   
   Hawking showed that black holes emit thermal radiation, it raised a   
   disturbing possibility: information about whatever falls into a black   
   hole might be permanently lost as heat.   
      
   That conclusion conflicted with quantum mechanics, which demands that   
   the entirety of information be preserved.   
      
   Resolving this tension forced physicists to confront a deeper truth.   
   Information is not optional. If we want a full description of the   
   universe that includes quantum mechanics, information cannot simply   
   disappear without undermining the foundations of physics.   
      
   This realization had profound consequences. It became clear that   
   information has thermodynamic cost, that erasing it dissipates energy,   
   and that storing it requires physical resources." - Florian Neukart,
