Over the last decade the physics of black holes has been
revolutionized by developments that grew out of Jacob Bekenstein's
realization that black holes have entropy. Stephen Hawking raised
profound issues concerning the loss of information in black hole
evaporation and the consistency of quantum mechanics in a world
with gravity. For two decades these questions puzzled theoretical
physicists and eventually led to a revolution in the way we think
about space, time, matter and information. This revolution has
culminated in a remarkable principle called "The Holographic
Principle", which is now a major focus of attention in
gravitational research, quantum field theory and elementary
particle physics. Leonard Susskind, one of the co-inventors of the
Holographic Principle as well as one of the founders of String
theory, develops and explains these concepts.
