In some sense, it says there's no interior to the black hole, nothing ever crosses. So I gave you this very nice story that there's no drama. Sometimes that's how it's described at the event horizon and you fall through and there's nothing there. This other idea says, well, hold on a second.

If it's really strings, as I get close to this magnifying quality and the slowing time down near the event horizon, it is as though I put a magnifying glass on things and now the strings aren't so microscopic. They kind of smear around and then they get caught like a tangle around the event horizon and they just actually never fall through. I don't think that either, but it was interesting.

Nothing falls in. So the information gets out because it never went in in the first place.

Worth trying, but I also don't think that that's the case. So the no hair theorems are formal proofs that the black hole is this featureless perfect fundamental particle that we talked about, that all you can ever tell about the black hole is its electrical charge, its mass, and its spin, and that it cannot possess other features. It has no hair, is one way of describing it.

And those are proven mathematical proofs in the context of general relativity. So the idea is, well, therefore I can know nothing about what goes into the black hole, so the information is lost. But if they could have hair, I could say that's my black hole, because it'd have features that I could distinguish, and it could encode the information that went in in this way.
