Perhaps it’s time for theoretical physics to be taught in kindergarten. With goats.

Back in August, Stephen Hawking announced that he had solved a lingering mystery in the world of astrophysics: Information seems to disappear when ingoing particles enter a black hole, but that loss of information contradicts the very laws of quantum mechanics.

His new theory? Information is stored along the boundaries of black holes! Through supertranslations! And there’s a hologram, and like…

Okay, so the details can get a bit confusing for a non-astrophysicist crowd—but luckily, one redditor from the Explain Like I’m Five (ELI5) Reddit community broke down Hawking’s discovery in terms so simple, even a kindergartener could understand.

To make things even easier, Upvoted’s artist-in-residence Li-Anne Dias has brought to life this ELI5 post with an illustrated guide based on Iprocrastinatetmrw’s original comment—with supporting scientific guidance from astronomer Michael Kaufman and theoretical physicist Don Page (who studied under Hawking himself).

Kids, are you ready for class to begin?

Note: The scientists consulted on this post emphasized that, at this point, Hawking is pragmatic about the preservation of information along a black hole’s event horizon, believing the visible evidence to be indecipherable. So, for the purpose of Albert’s analogy, the event horizon offers evidence that food has been consumed—and that Albert’s food consumption doesn’t defy the laws of physics—but not, for instance, whether it was a slice of banana bread or a bowl of goatmeal.
