DUBLIN, Ireland -- After 29 years of thinking about it, Stephen Hawking says he was wrong about black holes.

The renowned Cambridge University physicist formally presented a paper Wednesday arguing that black holes, the celestial vortexes formed from collapsed stars, preserve traces of objects swallowed up and eventually could spit bits out "in a mangled form." Last week, he revealed he had changed his long-held thinking on black holes.

Hawking's radical new theory caps his three-decade struggle to explain a paradox in scientific thinking: How can objects really "disappear"…
