What does " the resolution of the information" mean?

"Resolution," used this way, means the solution of a problem or question. The same goes for the verb "to resolve."

Cool.
I wonder what "seems to be ruled out" means in "Such firewalls would break the CPT invariance of quantum gravity and seem to be ruled out on other grounds".

Firewalls seem to be ruled out/cancelled on other foundations? Hard to understand this.

anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory

A different resolution of the paradox is proposed, namely that gravitational collapse produces apparent horizons but no event horizons behind which information is lost. This proposal is supported by ADS-CFT and is the only resolution of the paradox compatible with CPT. The collapse to form a black hole will in general be chaotic and the dual CFT on the boundary of ADS will be turbulent. Thus, like weather forecasting on Earth, information will effectively be lost, although there would be no loss of unitarity.

It seems to me that "no event horizons behind which information is lost" (that is, information will not be lost in black holes) and "information will effectively be lost" contradict each other. How to understand the contradiction?

...resolution of the paradox is proposed...

1. Gravitational collapse produces apparent horizons but no event horizons (the kind behind which information is lost).

2. Collapse will be chaotic and there is turbulence at the boundary and information will be lost as a result.

No contradiction.

Sorry Contrex. Nothing got improved here.

No event horizons, so no information will be lost.

No event horizons as previously proposed, but information still "effectively" lost (i.e. it exists, but is made inaccessible by being scrambled by chaotic turbulence at boundary) thus an "apparent" horizon exists.

“There is no escape from a black hole in classical theory, but quantum theory enables energy and information to escape.”

...the physicist, based at the University of Cambridge, UK, and one of the creators of modern black-hole theory, does away with the notion of an event horizon, the invisible boundary thought to shroud every black hole, beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape.

In its stead, Hawking’s radical proposal is a much more benign “apparent horizon”, which only temporarily holds matter and energy prisoner before eventually releasing them, albeit in a more garbled form.

I see no contradiction. No escape in classical theory, but escape allowed in quantum theory.

I see it is probably because this thunderously famed scientist - Steven Hawking has scared you off your normal sense, Contrex.

Please state, very clearly, where you see a contradiction.

Is the following not clear enough?

Hawking presents his new theory to offer a solution for the information paradox. If information could escape from black holes in this new theory, the information should not have all lost in them.

ADS-CFT: In theoretical physics, the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence, sometimes called Maldacena duality or gauge/gravity duality, is a conjectured relationship between two kinds of physical theories.

String theory. Good luck.
