Black holes are solutions to the Einstein equation, therefore string theories that contain gravity also predict the existence of black holes. But string theories give rise to more interesting symmetries and types of matter than are commonly assumed in ordinary Einstein relativity. So black holes are more interesting to study in the context of string theory, because there are more kinds to study.

Explain why string theory is an explanation to black holes. You have restated the conclusion without any rationale.

I read the article, initially and thought about the conclusion then raised the question. You have reinstated the original assumption without any logical defense of the conclusion.

Let me rephrase the question.

How does superstring theory predict a black hole?

1. The event horizon is a surface in spacetime, dividing itself between the inside and outside

There seems too exist analog between 2D-Prane interaction with superstrings and the interactions of matter and black holes.

Black hole loss of information and compression of matter or loss of matter a singularity may be explained by Superstring theory that describes what happened at the point of the big bang.

It seems like superstring theory is the model for explain what is happening inside the black hole. Open and close strings interacting on the 2D P-Drane explains what is happening beyond the event horizon.

General theory must verify the existence of a black hole because of deformation in timespace curvature. Since there is no way to know how much energy that a black hole emits. I do not understand how E=MC^2 was verified. Perhaps all energy and mass is being annihilated at the singularity or being transported by wormhole to another dimension. Either way, the energy and matter of a black hole is not verifiable.
