Some support the preprint's claim — that it provides a promising way to tackle a conundrum known as
the black hole information paradox, which Hawking identified more than 40 years ago.
It's another shot in the black hole wars — a Nobel laureate has a counterpoint to Stephen Hawking's new solution to
the black hole information paradox
The idea proposed by the three physicists offers a new strategy for addressing a long - standing conundrum in physics known as
the black hole information paradox.
This is
the black hole information paradox.
Q24 In 1997, three theoretical physicists made a bet on the solution of the so - called
black hole information paradox.
That fact implies a conundrum known as
the black hole information paradox (SN: 5/31/14, p. 16): When the black hole evaporates, where does the information go?
Perhaps complementarity, wormholes or a mystery mechanism up Stephen Hawking's sleeve will simultaneously rectify
the black hole information paradox and deliver a theory of quantum gravity.
But in 2012, a quartet of physicists including Joseph Polchinski from the University of California, Santa Barbara reignited
the black hole information paradox by demonstrating that in solving one problem, Susskind and Maldacena had created another.
Susskind dug into
this black hole information paradox, and by the turn of the century he thought he had resolved it with a proposal called complementarity.
Once again, it may turn out that
a black hole information paradox is allowed to exist for the simple reason that no one could ever detect it.
Not exact matches
Consider the Hawking
paradox - Hawking originally theorized that all
information sucked into a
black hole was lost, yet that goes against the fundamental belief that
information is never lost, it only changes its states.
The
black hole information loss
paradox had been born.
This led to a still unresolved
paradox: Throw an encyclopedia into a
black hole and the
information will eventually be lost.
It's still not clear whether the
black hole mirror is the correct solution to the
paradox, but the analogy suggests experiments with superconductors could clarify what happens to the
information, Jordan says.
The
paradox could also be resolved if
black holes do not include a true singularity, or if, as Stephen Hawking has suggested, the Hawking radiation contains the
information, albeit in a mangled and unreadable state.
Such objects could one day help resolve the so - called
black hole «
information paradox» - the question of whether
information that falls into a
black hole disappears forever.
You report Yasunori Nomura saying that the «many worlds» approach resolves the
paradox around
information loss from
black holes and...
