SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the behavior of matter and energy near the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole, as described by general relativity (GR). It highlights the uncertainty regarding how close one can approach the singularity before quantum gravity theories become necessary. Various theories, including firewall, fuzzball, and energetic curtain, suggest significant implications of quantum gravity at the horizon. The author proposes a theory involving a quantum gravity core that expands as the black hole undergoes evaporation, detailed in their paper available at arXiv:1505.04088.
