We show it is possible for the information paradox in black hole evaporation
to be resolved classically. Using standard junction conditions, we attach the
general closed spherically symmetric dust metric to a spacetime satisfying all
standard energy conditions but with a single point future c-boundary. The
resulting Omega Point spacetime, which has NO event horizons, nevertheless has
black hole type trapped surfaces and hence black holes. But since there are no
event horizons, information eventually escapes from the black holes. We show
that a scalar quintessence field with an appropriate exponential potential near
the final singularity would give rise to an Omega Point final singularity.Comment: 27 pages in LaTex2e, no figure
