Somebody has to say it:

Black Holes Matter!!

[choctaw man]

1. locate the black hole.
2. reach in.
3. locate the information needed.
4. remove hand from black hole.
5. move on to your next adventure.

[Boogieman]

Perhaps they should focus on actually demonstrating that black holes exist before worrying whether they create a quantum information paradox?

How do you waterboard a black hole?

[Red Badger]

Thus the need for a Unified Theory of Everything...................

Pour water in until it fills up!..........................

Certainly, but I think physicists realize that is a smaller issue than the fact that, without something theoretically like black holes, their entire model of cosmology ceases to be of any use in describing observed astronomical phenomena...

They don’t have to reconcile GR and quantum mechanics, in fact, they have gotten along quite well for decades without doing that. They do kind of need to have a model that at least seems to explain the movement of planets, galaxies, etc, consistently, even if that model relies on several obvious “fudge factors”.

They are one step closer to being able to retrieve the truth from the MSM.

So, if you divide by zero, the singularities would all cancel out, but you’ll lose the House and Senate. Got it.

But we HAVE the answer to life the universe and everything!
It’s 42.

But they still can’t retrieve obsma’s real birth certificate or immigration papers

You can shred your tax returns, but you shouldn't be able to destroy information by tossing it into a black hole.

Dear IRS auditor: All my tax returns were swallowed by a black hole but you should be able to retrieve them.

Please contact my representative quantum scientist for any questions you may have........

Only about 391 more days until the Black Hole is out of office.

“Next, Alice measures the total angular momentum, or spin, of the black hole—both its magnitude and, roughly speaking, how much it lines up with a particular axis. With those two bits of information in hand, she then tosses in her electron, losing it forever.”

Ummmm.....doesn’t her measurement also force the collapse of the black hole’s cumulative wave function? :)

Retrieve it hell... Help me find the keys and we’ll drive it out.

[tumblindice]

good movie

[Cruising Speed]

I’ve looked at both the ‘Hawking radiation’ hypothesis and so-called ‘string theory’ and, as far as I can tell, black holes do not evaporate and sometimes information is indeed lost.
