Recent work on the status of astrophysical modeling in the wake of quantum gravity indicates that a ‘fauxrizon’ (portmanteau of ‘faux hori-zon’), such as is relevant to understanding astrophysical black holes according to the fuzzball proposal within string theory, might ultimately solve the familiar black hole evaporation paradox. I clarify, with general upshots for the foundations of quantum gravity research, some of what this suggestion would amount to: identification of intertheoretic…

Lost horizon? – modeling black holes in string theory
The modeling of black holes is an important desideratum for any quantum theory of gravity. Not only is a classical black hole metric sought, but also agreement with the laws of black hole…

Black Hole Remnants and Classical vs. Quantum Gravity
Belot, Earman, and Ruetsche (1999) dismiss the black hole remnant proposal as an inadequate response to the Hawking information loss paradox. I argue that their criticisms are misplaced and that,…
What’s the Problem with the Cosmological Constant?
The “Cosmological Constant Problem” (CCP) is widely considered a crisis in contemporary theoretical physics. Unfortunately, the search for its resolution is hampered by open disagreement about what…
Four Attitudes Towards Singularities in the Search for a Theory of Quantum Gravity
Singularities in general relativity and quantum field theory are often taken not only to motivate the search for a more-fundamental theory (quantum gravity, QG), but also to characterise this new…
Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole Thermodynamics
In this book, Robert Wald provides a pedagogical introduction to the formulation of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. He begins with a treatment of the ordinary one-dimensional quantum…
The Hawking Information Loss Paradox: The Anatomy of Controversy
Stephen Hawking has argued that universes containing evaporating black holes can evolve from pure initial states to mixed final ones. Such evolution is non-unitary and so contravenes fundamental…
Why Black Hole Information Loss Is Paradoxical
I distinguish between two versions of the black hole information-loss paradox. The first arises from apparent failure of unitarity on the spacetime of a completely evaporating black hole, which…
The fuzzball proposal for black holes: an elementary review
We give an elementary review of black holes in string theory. We discuss BPS holes, the microscopic computation of entropy and the 'fuzzball' picture of the black hole interior suggested by…
Are Black Holes about Information?
Information theory presupposes the notion of an epistemic agent, such as a scientist or an idealized human. Despite that, information theory is increasingly invoked by physicists concerned with…
