B Where Can I Find Math for Black Hole Firewalls?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for mathematical foundations related to black hole firewalls, a theoretical concept suggesting that high-energy quanta exist at the event horizon of black holes. The original poster expresses difficulty in finding relevant mathematical resources and seeks guidance on where to locate this information. The concept of a black hole firewall involves the breaking of entanglement between particles, potentially releasing immense energy. A brief explanation is provided, referencing Wikipedia for further details. The conversation highlights the complexity and intrigue surrounding black hole physics.

Hello :)
Before I get to my topic I want to adress 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...

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
