AI Thread Summary
Hawking's 2013 paper argues that gravitational collapse results in apparent horizons rather than event horizons, suggesting that information is not permanently lost. This implies that traditional black holes, defined by regions from which light cannot escape, do not exist. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the context and reasoning behind Hawking's statements rather than focusing solely on isolated sentences. Readers are encouraged to access the full paper on arXiv for a comprehensive understanding. The implications of this work challenge conventional views on black holes and information theory in physics.

2013 AUG Paper - Hawking

"...gravitational collapse produces apparent horizons but no event horizons behind which information is lost."

"The absence of event horizons mean that there are no black holes - in the sense of regimes
from which light can't escape to ininity."

Its not a good idea to pay attention to only two sentences of a paper!
It should be figured out that why Hawking wrote those sentences.
 
It would also help if you provided a link to the paper so that we could read it as well.
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect...

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
