The Subtle Unphysical Hypothesis of the Firewall Theorem
The black-hole firewall theorem derives a suspicious consequence (large energy-momentum density at the horizon of a black hole) from a set of seemingly reasonable hypotheses. I point out the hypothesis that is likely to be unrealistic (a hypothesis not always sufficiently made explicit) and discuss...

description | The black-hole firewall theorem derives a suspicious consequence (large energy-momentum density at the horizon of a black hole) from a set of seemingly reasonable hypotheses. I point out the hypothesis that is likely to be unrealistic (a hypothesis not always sufficiently made explicit) and discuss the subtle confusion at its origin: mixing-up of two different notions of entropy and misusing the entropy bound. |
