Black Hole Information path described in new article

In summary, a recent paper titled "Quantum gravitational corrections to particle creation by black holes" proposes a mechanism for holding and encoding information in the Hawking radiation emitted by black holes. The authors calculate the effects of quantum corrections on the emission of Hawking particles and demonstrate how the quantum state of the black hole is reflected in the exterior metric, ultimately leading to the escape of information. This paper was published in Science Direct earlier this month.

TL;DR Summary
A paper appears to describe an event horizon mechanism for holding information and encoding it in the Hawking radiation.
I'm posting this in "Quantum Physics" although it is just as much "General Relativity".

A paper entitled "Quantum gravitational corrections to particle creation by black holes" was published in
Science Direct earlier this month.
It appears to provide an event horizon mechanism for holding information and encoding it in the Hawking radiation.
The abstract:
We calculate quantum gravitational corrections to the amplitude for the emission of a Hawking particle by a black hole. We show explicitly how the amplitudes depend on quantum corrections to the exterior metric (quantum hair). This reveals the mechanism by which information escapes the black hole. The quantum state of the black hole is reflected in the quantum state of the exterior metric, which in turn influences the emission of Hawking quanta.

1. What is a black hole?

A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. This happens when a massive star dies and its core collapses under its own gravity.

2. What is the "information path" of a black hole?

The information path of a black hole refers to the way in which information about objects that enter the black hole is preserved or lost. This has been a topic of debate in the scientific community for many years.

3. What does the new article say about the information path of black holes?

The new article proposes a theory that suggests that the information of objects that enter a black hole is encoded on its event horizon, the point of no return. This means that the information is not lost, but rather stored on the surface of the black hole.

4. How does this theory differ from previous theories about black hole information?

This theory differs from previous theories, such as the "information paradox," which suggested that information is destroyed when it enters a black hole. The new theory proposes that the information is not lost, but rather stored on the event horizon.

5. What implications does this new theory have for our understanding of black holes?

If this theory is proven to be true, it could have significant implications for our understanding of black holes and the laws of physics. It could also provide new insights into the nature of space and time, and potentially lead to a better understanding of the universe as a whole.
