What is Your Theory On Blackhole Radiation?

Posted on June 25, 2014 by PlatoHagel

MSU Professor Chris Adami has found the solution to a long-standing problem with Stephen Hawking’s black hole theory. In a groundbreaking study recently published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, Adami found that various types of information, as specific … Continue reading →

Gravitational Collapse and the Horizon

Posted on January 30, 2014 by PlatoHagel

It has been suggested [1] that the resolution of the information paradox for evaporating black holes is that the holes are surrounded by firewalls, bolts of outgoing radiation that would destroy any infalling observer. Such firewalls would break the CPT … Continue reading →

A Conformal Field Theory Approach?

Posted on June 15, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Using the anti–de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence to relate fermionic quantum critical fields to a gravitational problem, we computed the spectral functions of fermions in the field theory. By increasing the fermion density away from the relativistic quantum critical point, … Continue reading →
