AI Thread Summary
Recent discussions highlight the possibility that things can escape black holes, challenging established theories in quantum physics and the conservation of mass and energy. This discovery may also impact the understanding of general relativity, as black holes have long been viewed as paradoxical within the spacetime continuum. A quote from physicist Gibbons suggests that while there may be a solution presented, the final verdict is still uncertain. The implications of this finding could reshape fundamental concepts in physics. Overall, this development is seen as a significant advancement in our understanding of black holes.

BlackHoles--- Things CAN get free

talk about a new discovery

does this have any other implications on any other theories?

Do you mean besides quantum physics and the principle of conservation of mass and energy? Might this have some implications on how general relativity is viewed, seeing as how black holes were seen as a paradox or hole in the spacetime continuum? I'm not so sure, but I do remember a quote made by Hawking about God not only rolling dice, but also hiding them. They may not be so hidden after all...
 
Quote from article:
"It's possible that what he presented in the seminar is a solution," Gibbons said. "But I think you have to say the jury is still out."

Let's see what he has for us.
 
It should be interesting... Somebody will probably have to explain it in plain English for me, though.
 
amazing, this is great work
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
