I review the information loss paradox that was first formulated by Hawking, and discuss possible ways of resolving it. All proposed solutions have serious drawbacks. I conclude that the information loss paradox may well presage a revolution in fundamental physics. (To appear in the proceedings of the International Symposium on Black Holes, Membranes, Wormholes, and Superstrings.)

  1. Page Time of Primordial Black Holes in the Standard Model and Beyond

    astro-ph.CO 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Standard Model emission, a Schwarzschild primordial black hole of about 6.23 x 10^14 grams would reach its Page time at the current age of the Universe.

  2. Broadened Lensing Rings of Compact Boson Stars: Enhanced Imprint of Accretion Flow in Images and Visibilities

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Compact boson stars exhibit broader gravitational lensing rings than black holes, resulting in images and visibilities that depend more strongly on the structure of the accretion flow.

  3. Signatures of loop quantum gravity in primordial black hole cosmologies

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    PBH masses near 10^3 kg allow Hawking evaporation to reheat the universe while Planckian remnants comprise all present-day DM without fine-tuning initial abundance, yielding testable GW signals.

  4. Harvesting entanglement from the Lorentz-violating quantum field vacuum in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate

    quant-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Dipolar-BEC density fluctuations serve as a Lorentz-violating vacuum; two impurity detectors can harvest entanglement from it, with the optimal detector gap and switching-width behavior differing from the Lorentz-inva...

  5. Classical Corrections to Black Hole Entropy II

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Modeling black hole absorption as discrete recursion yields area-law entropy with logarithmic corrections whose coefficients depend on spacetime dimension and charge for Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordström cases.

  6. Compact Temporal Geometry and the $T^2$ Framework for Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2025-06 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Time is modeled as a compact two-torus with a coherence direction whose string-scale compactification allegedly yields quantized temporal modes, UV regularization, and emergent classicality.

  7. The old problem of the cosmological constant solved?

    gr-qc 2025-05 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A speculative essay claims that a model of gravity as superluminal phonons on a ring lattice solves the cosmological constant problem, but provides no derivation of the values or dynamics.
