Entanglement and event horizon

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the implications of entanglement in the context of black holes, specifically whether entanglement persists if one of the entangled particles crosses the event horizon. The conversation touches on concepts from quantum physics and general relativity.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions if entanglement between two particles remains intact when one particle crosses the event horizon of a black hole, suggesting this could imply information could escape from a black hole.
  • Another participant argues that while entanglement may persist, information cannot be transmitted solely through entanglement without a classical communication channel, thus limiting the ability to relay information from inside the black hole.
  • Several participants express interest in resources for understanding quantum physics and entanglement, indicating a varying level of familiarity with the topic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the nature of entanglement in relation to black holes, with no consensus reached on whether entanglement can convey information from within a black hole.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the complexities surrounding the definitions of entanglement and information transfer, particularly in the context of black hole physics.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in quantum physics, black hole theory, and the philosophical implications of entanglement may find this discussion relevant.

If one of two entangled particles passes the event horizon of a black hole, will the entanglement still exist? Because that would mean information can come from a black hole.

You can't send information via entanglement only, you need a classical channel in order to relay information. So even if the entanglement persists, there's no way to relay information from inside the black hole.

Mmm...

Can you recommend me a good book about quantum physics and maybe entanglement in particular?
I'm a M.D., who may have a good brain, but my physics is high school level.
