I Testing the information loss problem

AI Thread Summary
The paper discusses a method to test the information loss paradox related to black hole evaporation, focusing on entropy evolution in moving mirrors. It explores various outcomes, including the potential for a firewall scenario. However, the practical implementation of the proposed tabletop experiment lacks clarity and requires further elaboration. The discussion highlights that while the concept is intriguing, it may currently serve more as a theoretical exploration than a concrete experimental approach. Overall, the need for more detailed methodology remains a significant barrier to practical application.

This paper; https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.08613, Entropy evolution of moving mirrors and the information loss problem, discusses a proposed method to test the information loss paradox posed by black hole evaporation. Several possible outcomes are discussed, including a firewall scenario. Unfortunately, the devil is once again in the details. I could not entirely grasp how the authors propose to separate the smoke from the mirrors.

I read the paper after seeing your thread. It was of course a thought experiment and though they made some tentative suggestion of how this could be realized as a table top experiment but the details of this real world experiment still need to be fleshed out. Until then this appears an interesting diversion only, maybe it will up their citation score!
 
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.
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.

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...
