We're here at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) ready to take your questions.
We spent this past week working on some of the most challenging questions in theoretical physics. Last Tuesday, our colleague Stephen Hawking presented to us his latest idea to solve the growing paradoxes of black hole physics. We discussed this, and many other ideas, that may light the path towards a deeper understanding of black holes... and perhaps even point us towards the holy grail of physics. The so-called, "Theory of Everything"!
Could black hole Hawking Radiation be a "super-translation" of in-falling matter? Why does the Universe conserve information? Is "information" a physical object or just an idea? Do collapsing black holes bounce and become a super slow-motion white holes? Can black holes have an infinite amount of charge on their surfaces? Or, could black holes not exist and really be “GravaStars” in disguise? We’re trying to find out! Ask us anything!
