I don't understand why you would be skeptical. How do you think cell phones work?

  What does “hawking radiation encoding the future through black holes” at all have to do with “humans intervening with and encoding their own signals over radio spectrums”? Nothing.

    Understood. Sorry. I should have given you the benefit of the doubt. To me, the resolution of the paradox — that the radiated field might contain some encoded information in it — is less weird than the alternative, which is that the information somehow disappears. Information being encoded in a field seems natural to me. There’s a tight interplay between energy, temperature, and information. It’s even right there in the first law of thermodynamics: dE = TdS + dW. (The S is the missing information about the system.)
