- TL;DR Summary
- what is the consensus about the information paradox?
from what I understand it is believed that information is preserved but we are still working out how exactly, is this the case?
What research have you done on this? What have you found so far?OCD said:TL;DR Summary: what is the consensus about the information paradox?

no I haven't read "The Black Hole Wars" I know that it covers the dispute between Susskind and hawking and that Hawking eventually concedes to a information preservation resolution. from what I understand Susskind's answer to the paradox is the holographic principle. Most of the recent literature that I have found about this topic conclude that information is in fact not lost which is why I asked the question.phinds said:What research have you done on this?

Thanks. Both of these papers illustrate a common problem with theoretical approaches to this issue (as well as many other issues). The framework they are working in is an asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. This is commonly done in string theory and related fields because it is mathematically tractable. Unfortunately it is also physically irrelevant, because our universe is not asymptotically Anti-de Sitter, it is asymptotically de Sitter. So a physically relevant model would have to use something like Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime, i.e., a black hole in a de Sitter background.OCD said:
