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.
Fun Fact: Two papers, both written by Albert Einstein in 1935, form the foundation of the resolution of the Blackhole Information Paradox. The first, called the EPR Paper, was the first to point out the bizarre properties of quantum entanglement. This might be Einsteins most underrated paper because it essentially started Quantum Information Theory as a field. The second paper Einstein wrote was on Einstein-Rosen Bridges (I.e. wormholes), which are theoretical shortcuts through the spacetime continuum. Juan Maldacena and Leonard Susskind call this ER = EPR The man was a mind-boggling genius. Even now, 100 years after the fact, Einstein is still spearheading the cutting edge of physics from the grave.
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.
"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..
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.
One thing I've been wondering about: in ADS/CFT it seems like the event horizons act like boundaries of holographic spacetime, so is every black hole in a way "connected" in that they are all part of the same boundary, or does each of them constitute a different boundary? I mean specifically that they are the boundary of the OUTER spacetime (not the spacetime within the event horizon, but the spacetime outside the black hole).
