| Mar 16, 2018 at 14:52 | comment | added | William Hird | why did you put parentheses around the word lost, you don't think you can "recover" the information after it has been turned into heat, do you? You will need some Flux Capacitors and a Heisenberg Compensator to accomplish that ;-) | |
| Mar 16, 2018 at 9:42 | comment | added | Denis | I guess a physical NAND gate must give back the "lost" information in the form of heat or in some other way we computer scientists abstract away. | |
| Mar 16, 2018 at 1:43 | comment | added | William Hird | If the lowly NAND gate can lose information, why can't a black hole lose information as well ??? | |
