Tyson says black holes preserve information through particle pairs that remember

What was said

"If you took an inventory of the particles that appear out of the gravitational field of the black hole, they will exactly match everything the black hole has ever eaten in its life. Particles are being created from the energy field of the black hole. Energy is creating it and it has a memory of what was there before."

Tyson described how Hawking radiation creates particle pairs from a black hole's gravitational field that somehow preserve the information of everything ever consumed by the black hole, even though the original particles are destroyed. This relates to the black hole information paradox in physics. However, Tyson admitted uncertainty about how complex information like DNA could be recovered from these particle pairs.
