Jul 2 at 3:46 comment added safesphere @Wookie Sorry my friend, I’ve been busy lately handing a new poster I bought for my office: amazon.com/dp/B0CM7ZYFD2
Jul 1 at 16:15 comment added Wookie Yes, come on, own up @safesphere. Was it you who left that mass lying around the event horizon? Junk food boxes, empty beer bottles, Hawking radiators aplenty. Don't you think the space-janitors have enough to do? : )
Jun 24 at 9:08 comment added ConfusedCabbage The fact that you have deleted your nonsensical comments rather than owning up to them is telling.
Jun 24 at 8:22 comment added safesphere Well, thanks for the lecture and for responding to criticism with a personal attack for the entire worldwide community to see :)
Jun 24 at 7:47 comment added ConfusedCabbage I am afraid you have missed the point entirely. There is no need to “trust” the literature. Science is not an opinion. Its predictions are continuously scrutinized and tested in experiments. The same cannot be said for the nonsensical gibberish that you are trying to pass off as "logical arguments”.
Jun 23 at 23:16 comment added ConfusedCabbage 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.
Jun 23 at 10:33 comment added ConfusedCabbage 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
Jun 23 at 10:24 comment added safesphere "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.
Jun 23 at 10:13 comment added safesphere "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.
