TWO AUTHORS. “The design of our bodies is simultaneously extraordinarily precise and unbelievably slipshod. It is as if the best engineers in the universe took every seventh day off and turned the work over to bumbling amateurs.” (Randolph Nesse and George Williams) https://lnkd.in/d9KtiYn View in LinkedIn

THE REMNANT. “The evaporation of the black hole plausibly continues until an advanced time at which there are no longer any trapped surfaces for z < 0 . If evaporation were to stop sooner, the result would be a "dead" remnant black hole containing all the quantum information of the Hawking "partners." https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

PROBLEM. “Numerical calculations of the renormalized semi-classical stress-energy tensor outside the horizon of a Schwarzschild black show a flow of negative energy into the black hole starting a finite distance outside the horizon, and are inconsistent with an outflow of positive energy Hawking radiation from pair creation or tunneling very close to the horizon.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

ASSUMPTIONS. “The model assumes spherical symmetry of the geometry, which, while the black hole is large, is extremely close to Schwarzschild near and outside of the black hole horizon.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

REPERCUSSIONS. “This has implications for the validity of the generalized second law and certain quantum singularity theorems as applied to black holes.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

NO HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE. “In Part VI, I explain in more detail than in Paper I why the standard holographic interpretation of black hole entropy, in which the log of the number of black hole quantum microstates is identified with the thermodynamic Bekenstein-Hawking entropy proportional to the horizon area, is untenable if the black hole evolves 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
