  • $\begingroup$ "the correlations between the inside and the outside of the black hole" - This is a popular misconception among physicists. The inside is in the future relative to the outside and therefore cannot have any effect on the outside. This means, if the mass of the collapsed star gets inside, it disappears from the outside world while violating energy conservation. Fortunately this is not the case and all mass of the collapsed star ("black hole") remains outside the horizon until the black hole evaporates. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ "information can escape eventually and there is no paradox" - This also is not true. The paradox is deeper than its vague quantum interpretation. If I am in a free fall, then by my (or anyone's) clock the black hole evaporates before I reach the horizon. Therefore I expect to remain intact (neglecting the tidal and other destructive forces), but all my mass/energy has evaporated, so I must disappear. The paradox is not limited to the quantum states, but is there at the classical level as well. The root of the paradox is that a black hole is the effect of things located outside the horizon. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ You might want to read up on some proper literature before spreading misinformation as there is already a lot of confusion on the topic of black holes and in particular on the information loss problem. Chapter 6 of Wald's review should be a good start: doi.org/10.12942/lrr-2001-6 The fact that black holes bounded by quasilocal horizons have a quantum ergosphere, i.e. a region from which information can escape, is also well known, see, for instance, the original paper by York: doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.28.2929 $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ There is nothing logical about your argumentation. You are simply claiming that everyone is wrong and you are right without having anything to back it up with. As for your "arguments": If you had taken the time to actually engage with the literature on black holes rather than dismissing it you would see pretty quickly why what you are writing does not even make sense. Best of luck. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The fact that you have deleted your nonsensical comments rather than owning up to them is telling. $\endgroup$
