Sorry, I know this is not the right forum for this kind of stuff, it was not my intent to stun anyone, I will get back in to the spirit of this thread after this post, but this has been a hobby of mine or field of study for 20 years, to me some of it is like acid without the drugs, great mind trips and no brain damage
I favor Feinman because it restored something that for 20 years Hawkings had taken, as basic rule of the universe as we know it that information in any form can't be created or destroyed/lost, only changed, we are in a closed system.
Nothing in the standard model ends up right if that rule is found to be breakable or wrong. It would also mean that we could never find out certain things, key things to answer how things really work if the information was really lost, not to mention why the laws of physics remain fixed if the ground rules change as the result of losses to the system, as they would have to.
So perhaps it is just for pure comfort or sanity, but it makes things make more sense when the universe is playing by the rules we think we know are absolute.
I can live with the departures that we see at very very small scales, I think eventually we will figure out why these things work that way and fit them into a TOE (Theory of Everything) someday, that will never be possible in a universe that loses information.
