Where Can I Find Math for Black Hole Firewalls?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the mathematical foundations of the concept of black hole firewalls, a theoretical idea in the context of black hole physics. Participants explore the nature of black hole firewalls and seek resources or mathematical frameworks related to this phenomenon.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • A participant expresses interest in finding mathematical resources related to black hole firewalls.
  • Another participant seeks clarification on what a "black hole firewall" is, providing a definition that includes the concept of high-energy quanta at the event horizon and the breaking of entanglement of Hawking radiation.
  • A later reply acknowledges the explanation and expresses curiosity about the implications of the energy involved in the concept.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not present a consensus on the mathematical aspects of black hole firewalls, as participants are still exploring definitions and implications.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion regarding the availability of specific mathematical resources and the complexity of the concepts involved, which may depend on various interpretations of black hole physics.

Hello :)
Before I get to my topic I want to address that I am new to this website and wish to apologize if my thread is incorrectly placed.

I am interested in black holes and lately I have been trying to find some math which lays the basis for a black hole firewall. Sadly I haven't been able to find what I am looking for and I was wondering if somebody could tell me where to find this.

Again, I am pretty sure my thread is incorrectly placed and I am really sorry about that.

Thanks for the help and I wish you a wonderful day.

What is a "black hole firewall"?

[ EDIT ] Oh.
"...a hypothetical phenomenon where an observer that falls into an old black hole encounters high-energy quanta at (or near) the event horizon.

Some scientists suggest that the entanglement [of Hawking radiation involving two mutually entangled particles] must somehow get immediately broken between the infalling particle and the outgoing particle. Breaking this entanglement would release inconceivable amounts of energy, thus creating a searing "black hole firewall" at the black hole event horizon."

Oh okey. Thank you so much :)

Cool concept, thanks for the explanation, DaveC426913. But that's an awful lot of energy... it's...
