Pure states don ’ t wear black

چکیده
Recently, string theory has provided some remarkable new insights into the micro-physics of black holes. I argue that a simple and important lesson is also provided with regards to the information loss paradox, namely, pure quantum states do not form black holes! Thus it seems black hole formation, as well as evaporation, must be understood within the framework of quantum decoherence.

Black Hole Information *
Hawking's 1974 calculation of thermal emission from a classical black hole led to his 1976 proposal that information may be lost from our universe as a pure quantum state collapses gravitationally into a black hole, which then evaporates completely into a mixed state of thermal radiation. Another possibility is that the information is not lost, but is stored in a remnant of the evaporating blac...
متن کاملA simulator study of adverse wear with metal and cement debris contamination in metal-on-metal hip bearings
OBJECTIVES Third-body wear is believed to be one trigger for adverse results with metal-on-metal (MOM) bearings. Impingement and subluxation may release metal particles from MOM replacements. We therefore challenged MOM bearings with relevant debris types of cobalt-chrome alloy (CoCr), titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) and polymethylmethacrylate bone cement (PMMA). METHODS Cement flakes (PMMA), CoCr a...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Near-Extreme Black Holes
The thermodynamics of nearly-extreme charged black holes depends upon the number of ground states at fixed large charge and upon the distribution of excited energy states. Here three possibilities are examined: (1) Ground state highly degenerate (as suggested by the large semiclassical Hawking entropy of an extreme ReissnerNordstrom black hole), excited states not. (2) All energy levels highly ...
متن کامل[Effect of surface modification using laser on wear resistance of titanium].
PURPOSE Severe wear of cast commercial pure (CP) titanium teeth was observed in a clinical survey. This study evaluated the wear resistance of cast CP titanium and titanium alloy teeth after the surface was modified using laser technology. METHODS Teeth patterns were duplicated from artificial first molars (Livdent FB30, GC, Japan). All teeth specimens were cast with CP Ti grade 3 (T-Alloy H,...
متن کامل“a Study of Tool Wear in Turning of Pure Aluminum and Drilling of Cfrp /ti
Tool wear in turning of pure aluminum and drilling of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP)/titanium (Ti) stacks was investigated due to their importance in modern manufacturing. Although pure aluminum is a ductile metal while CFRP contains brittle carbon fibers, there exist also few important similarities which impact tool wear. For instance, neither work material contains inclusions harder ...
