We describe the puzzles that arise in the quantum theory of black holes, and explain how they are resolved in string theory. We review how the Bekenstein entropy is obtained through the count of brane bound states. We describe the fuzzball construction of black hole microstates. These states have no horizon and radiate from their surface like a normal body, so there is no information puzzle. We explain how the semiclassical approximation is violated in gravitational collapse even though curvatures are low at the classical horizon. This violation happens because the collapse leads to a stretching of space that is {\it fast}: light does not have time to travel across the collapsing region to establish the `vecro' correlations needed in the quantum gravitational vacuum. These vecro correlations arise from the existence of virtual fuzzball fluctuations in the gravitational vacuum, and are significant because of the large degeneracy of fuzzball states implied by the Bekenstein entropy. It is plausible that similar effects of fast expansion may be responsible for effects like dark energy and the Early Dark Energy postulated to explain the Hubble tension.

Black Shell Thermodynamics
Assuming black shells exist, their AdS thermodynamics produce a phase diagram where a black-shell phase intervenes between thermal AdS and black holes, splitting the Hawking-Page transition.

An interstellar mission to the closest black hole?
If a black hole lies within about 20 light-years, a laser-propelled nanocraft could reach it in roughly a century and test Einstein's theory and event horizons.

The information loss problem and Hawking radiation as tunneling
The paper claims that counting radiation paths from the Parikh-Wilczek tunneling spectrum yields the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and that a model Schrödinger equation evolves pure states into pure states, implying unit...
