It turns out that in order to make sense of their paradoxical nature, every black hole has to be thought of as a multitude of imaginary black holes, all connected by wormholes. And you thought the universe couldn’t get any weirder.

I NEVER thought the universe was at maximum weirdness. There's always some way it can surprise you with things that don't seem to make sense, but clearly work anyway.

I have been waiting my whole life to see a breakthrough in the stalemate between quantum and relativity that doesn't suggest there are a quadrillion dimensions. This does seem promising, I hope to hear more about it.

I really love this video. It feels like the convergence of many disparate ideas that have each stalled for years, but together they become more than the sum of their parts and point us to the next theoretical breakthrough.

Another great episode. I always appreciate every episode but this is one of the _REALLY_ good one. Nice job team!!!

"If you can entangle a particle, you can entangle a black hole" gave me the same vibe as "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball"

I watch you now for like 5 years, starting as a high schooler, and now a physics student. And its really nice finally being able to somewhat understand what you say :D

This kind of reminds me of the double-slit experiment. Since nothing outside the black hole's event horizon can observe anything that has crossed over the black hole's event horizon, all versions of the black hole’s collapse exist at once.

Richard Feynman came to the University of Alaska Fairbanks around the mid 1980s. He gave a public lecture on miniaturization, which I didn't find very interesting. But he also gave a seminar for the physics dept in a tiny classroom n which he described the Feynman path integral. I was amazed that his equation contained terms that had negative probabilities and probabilities greater than 1. Don't worry, he said it will all work out in the end. Sure enough all the weird terms cancelled out. I have marveled at this idea ever since. Thank you Matt for bringing it to our attention..

This sounds like having a cloud of virtual wormholes around a black hole, the same way that a quark would have a cloud of bosons around it.

Thus making Richard Feynman, with his clever mathematical trick (in the highest sense of that word) for QED, the true hero of a story written long after his premature passing. Would that he had lived another couple decades or so, to have possibly discovered it himself. What a wonderful episode.
