was made. This specified that such singularities would occur without extra conditions. [ 218 ] The same year, Thorne, Hawking and Preskill made another bet, this time concerning the black hole information paradox . [ 219 ] [ 220 ] Thorne and Hawking argued that since general relativity made it impossible for black holes to radiate and lose information, the mass-energy and information carried by Hawking Radiation must be "new", and not from inside the black hole event horizon . Since this contradicted the quantum mechanics of microcausality, quantum mechanics theory would need to be rewritten. Preskill argued the opposite, that since quantum mechanics suggests that the information emitted by a black hole relates to information that fell in at an earlier time, the concept of black holes given by general relativity must be modified in some way. [ 221 ] Hawking also maintained his public profile, including bringing science to a wider audience. In 1992 a film version of "A Brief History of Time"—directed by Errol Morris and produced by Steven Spielberg —was premiered. Hawking had wanted the film to be scientific rather than biographical, but was persuaded otherwise. The film, while a critical success, was however not widely released. [ 222 ] A popular-level collection of essays, interviews and talk titled Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays was published in 1993 [ 223 ] and six-part television series Stephen Hawking's Universe and companion book appeared in 1997. As Hawking insisted, this time the focus was entirely
