Black holes have earned their scary reputation for a reason. But, as it turns out, they aren’t as bad as they seem.
When an object (or character) gets sucked into a black hole and torn apart particle by particle, the matter and energy they are composed of isn’t destroyed (that would violate the laws of the conservation of matter/energy).
Thanks to Stephen Hawking, we now understand that the bits of “information” contained in a body are preserved by the black hole, which, via hawking radiation, radiates virtual particles back out.
What if an extremely advanced civilization could use a black hole as a massive data storage device and all of the victims that fell into one (and all of the particles that composed their bodies) could be “recalled” and reassembled?
This is the penultimate bullet dodge.
