IN PLAIN SIGHT. “If there was a pure quantum state before the black hole formed, the final result is also a pure state. It is remarkable that the possibility of such a simple resolution of the black hole information problem has been ignored by so many.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION PARADOX. “If this can be accomplished in a spacetime with the same causal structure as Minkowski spacetime, all quantum information trapped by the black hole eventually escapes from the white hole and reaches distant observers.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS. “On the other hand, arguments have been made based on Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) that singularities in the black hole interior can be resolved, such that the black hole transitions into a white hole.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

NEGATIVE ENERGY. “Instead of the negative energy and quantum information associated with Hawking "partners" propagating at constant retarded time across the white hole horizon over the entire lifetime of the white hole, as in the model of Paper I, most of the negative energy remains inside a white hole of fixed Planck-scale mass until it meets the rebounding matter shell, though the quantum information may continues to emerge in the form of vacuum fluctuations propagating across the white hole horizon.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

KILLING THE UNBORN. “In the simplest case, CI causes embryonic mortality in crosses between symbiont-infected males and uninfected females (unidirectional CI). Because Wolbachia-infected females can still reproduce successfully with infected males, this provides them with a fitness advantage.” (CI = cytoplasmic incompatibility). https://lnkd.in/dXjWp9f View in LinkedIn

SPACE “is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.” Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe. https://lnkd.in/dDeqdgh View in LinkedIn

MESSING WITH THE NUTS. “Maternally transmitted bacteria in the genus Wolbachia commonly manipulate the reproduction of their arthropod hosts by inducing cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI).” https://lnkd.in/dXjWp9f View in LinkedIn

THUMB ON THE SCALES. “In females, Wolbachia rescues the cross and allows development to proceed normally. This provides a reproductive advantage to infected females, allowing the maternally transmitted symbiont to spread rapidly through host populations.” https://lnkd.in/dXjWp9f View in LinkedIn

DEATH IF NO PARASITE IN HOST. “Cytoplasmic incompatibility is a selfish reproductive manipulation induced by the endosymbiont Wolbachia in arthropods. In males Wolbachia modifies sperm, leading to embryonic mortality in crosses with Wolbachia-free females.” https://lnkd.in/dXjWp9f View in LinkedIn
