SUMMARY
The recent analysis of LIGO data in the paper "Testing the No-Hair Theorem with GW150914" suggests that the no-hair theorem likely holds, impacting discussions around the information paradox. The theorem, which pertains to classical black hole physics, does not directly correlate with the Standard Model of particle physics, as the latter is rooted in quantum field theory. The discussion raises questions about the implications of a confirmed no-hair outcome on theories that aim to extend beyond the Standard Model.
