A possible way to understand the preservation of information during black hole evaporation is explored and a new approach to quantizing General Relativity is considered. Black holes, like all physical objects, are subject to the energy-time uncertainty principle which means their spacetime characteristics must have quantum uncertainty. It is conjectured that this quantum uncertainty is what permits the escape of energy and information from black holes. It is further conjectured that spacetime and mass-energy can be quantized together (here termed metric quanta) by replacing spaces based on the real number line with a quantum information state. Eigenvalues of operators that act on the information state characterize the metric quanta and this means that differential equations do not ultimately describe nature. A formulation of General Relativity is explored that uses a quantization procedure which replaces the basis vectors for curvilinear coordinate systems with operators that act on the information state of the cosmos. This paper concludes with the possibility that these ideas can eventually be made into a workable theory.
