#468 – Janna Levin: Black Holes, Wormholes, Aliens, Paradoxes & Extra Dimensions

The idea was, well, maybe the stuff that's interior to the black hole is quantum entangled, like EPR, quantum entangled, with the Hawking radiation outside the black hole that's escaping. And that quantum entanglement is what allows you to extract the information because it's not actually physically moving from the interior to the exterior. It's just subtle quantum entanglement.

And in fact, I can kind of think of The entire black hole, if I look at it, it looks like a solid shadow cast on the sky, some region of space-time. If I look at it very closely, I will see, oh no, it's actually sewn from these quantum wormholes, like embroidered. And so when I get up close, it's almost as though the event horizon isn't the fundamental thing. feature on the spacetime.

The fundamental feature is the quantum entanglement, embroidering the event horizon.

So the reason why that's helpful, it helps you connect the interior to the exterior without trying to pass through the event horizon.

#468 – Janna Levin: Black Holes, Wormholes, Aliens, Paradoxes & Extra Dimensions

I would say the firewall papers were fascinating and were very provocative and very important in making progress. I don't even think the authors of those papers thought firewalls were real. I think they were saying, look, we've been brushing too much under the rug. And if you look at the evaporation process, it's even worse than what you thought previously.
