«If you jump into a black hole, your mass energy will be returned to our Universe, but in a mangled form, which contains information about what you were like, but in an unrecognisable state. It is like burning an encyclopedia. Information is not lost, if one keeps the smoke and the ashes. But it is difficult to read»

is this the defragment function of the universe. do you mean other ways of body decay will keep info in a more readable format? like burial vs burning ?

The Hawking radiation that emits from a black hole has been run through a quantum computer and decoded to give back information about the material that went into the black hole. Turns out that there is a kind of “encryption” that occurs on the “surface” of the event horizon, which leaves information about the particles that enter the hole. It creates a kind of pub/priv key.
