It has been suggested [1] that the resolution of the information paradox for evaporating black holes is that the holes are surrounded by firewalls, bolts of outgoing radiation that would destroy any infalling observer. Such firewalls would break the CPT invariance of quantum gravity and seem to be ruled out on other grounds. A different resolution of the paradox is proposed, namely that gravitational collapse produces apparent horizons but no event horizons behind which information is lost. This proposal is supported by ADS-CFT and is the only resolution of the paradox compatible with CPT. The collapse to form a black hole will in general be chaotic and the dual CFT on the boundary of ADS will be turbulent. Thus, like weather forecasting on Earth, information will effectively be lost, although there would be no loss of unitarity.

  1. Semiclassical regularity of compact trapped regions: From dynamical horizons to inner extremality

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In finite-lifetime dynamical geometries the in-vacuum RSET stays finite at the inner horizon, growing exponentially for non-extremal cases but only as a power law for inner-extremal ones.

  2. Macroscopic Black-Hole Remnants in a Nonlocal Field Theory: Towards Hawking Radiation in SFT

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a smeared massless scalar on dynamical black hole, outgoing particle number drops to zero after scrambling time due to SFT nonlocality, implying macroscopic remnant.

  3. Violations of the null convergence condition in kinematical transitions between singular and regular black holes, horizonless compact objects, and bounces

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    During kinematical transitions between singular and regular black holes, horizonless compact objects, and bounces, the null convergence condition is violated even when both endpoint spacetimes respect it.

  4. The information loss problem and Hawking radiation as tunneling

    gr-qc 2025-02 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    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...
