Members Razor Posted January 14, 2022 Members Share Posted January 14, 2022 Very interesting article. The study attempts to put to rest the debate over Stephen Hawking’s famous information paradox, the problem created by Hawking’s conclusion that any data that enters a black hole can never leave. This conclusion accorded with the laws of thermodynamics, but opposed the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. “What we found from string theory is that all the mass of a black hole is not getting sucked in to the center,” said Samir Mathur, lead author of the study and professor of physics at The Ohio State University. “The black hole tries to squeeze things to a point, but then the particles get stretched into these strings, and the strings start to stretch and expand and it becomes this fuzzball that expands to fill up the entirety of the black hole.” The study, published Dec. 28 in the Turkish Journal of Physics, found that string theory almost certainly holds the answer to Hawking’s paradox, as the paper’s authors had originally believed. The physicists proved theorems to show that the fuzzball theory remains the most likely solution for Hawking’s information paradox. Mathur published a study in 2004 that theorized black holes were similar to very large, very messy balls of yarn – “fuzzballs” that become larger and messier as new objects get sucked in. “The bigger the black hole, the more energy that goes in, and the bigger the fuzzball becomes,” Mathur said. The 2004 study found that string theory, the physics theory that holds that all particles in the universe are made of tiny vibrating strings, could be the solution to Hawking’s paradox. https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/new-study-further-resolves-stephen-hawkings-black-hole-paradox/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jim_Alaska Posted January 14, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 14, 2022 I see one huge flaw in this theory. It is found in this segment: Quote this fuzzball that expands to fill up the entirety of the black hole.” t would not be possible to "fill up the entirety of the black hole.”, for then there would no longer be a black hole. I am not a physicist, but do have thirteen years as a lab tech. at the University of California Plasma Physics Lab. BrotherTony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
