INFO PARADOX. “Somehow, the quantum information apparently carried into the black hole by Hawking partners must reappear outside the black hole horizon, even though this would seem to require acausal propagation of quantum information.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

DESPISING HYPOTHESES. “Hitherto I have not been able to discover the cause of those properties of gravity from phenomena, and I frame no hypotheses, for whatever is not deduced from the phenomena is to be called an hypothesis; and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, whether of occult qualities or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy. In this philosophy particular propositions are inferred from the phenomena, and afterwards rendered general by induction.” https://lnkd.in/dD8RdgD View in LinkedIn

THE INFORMATION PROBLEM. “For a sub-system of a larger quantum system, its thermodynamic entropy is usually identified with its number of quantum degrees of freedom, i.e., the logarithm of the number of its quantum states, and corresponds to its maximum possible von Neumann entropy as part of a larger system. The assumption, called the "central dogma" that this is true for black holes is what leads to the black hole information problem.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

ENTROPY LAW. “The discovery of Hawking radiation showed that a black hole radiates like a black body and has a thermodynamic (Bekenstein-Hawking) entropy proportional to the area of the black hole horizon.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

“ENTROPY has played a central role in discussions of the evolution of black holes since before the discovery of Hawking radiation.” We took a very big dive into this topic. https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

DIMINUTIVE COUSIN. ‘The physical lifetime of the white hole…(is) much shorter than the lifetime…of a large black hole.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

QED. “The evolution of the white hole in Paper I is very simple. Its mass increases steadily as a function of retarded time due to negative energy flowing out across the white hole horizon, in a time-reverse of the evolution of the black hole. The white hole disappears when the rebounding matter shell emerges, leaving nothing behind. There is no significant flow of energy along the white hole hole horizon.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn

INCREASED VOLUME, DECREASED DENSITY. “Both are artifacts of viewing the geodesics from an accelerating frame rather than a local inertial frame. The same thing happens in a uniformly accelerating frame near the past horizon of a Rindler wedge in Minkowski spacetime.” https://lnkd.in/dUKnus8 View in LinkedIn
