A new theoretical study suggests that black holes may never fully evaporate, which contradicts an infamous Stephen Hawking theory that seems to violate fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. Instead, black holes could leave behind tiny, stable remnants that store all the information they once consumed, the study suggests.

But there's a twist — literally. For the theory to work, the universe must have three extra hidden dimensions that humans cannot perceive, making space-time seven-dimensional. As these hidden dimensions fold and twist, they create a repulsive force that prevents black holes from evaporating entirely.
