Can a New Law of Physics Explain a Black Hole Paradox?

Ғылым және технология

When the theoretical physicist Leonard Susskind encountered a head-scratching paradox about black holes, he turned to an unexpected place: computer science. In nature, most self-contained systems eventually reach thermodynamic equilibrium ... but not black holes. The interior volume of a black hole appears to forever expand without limit. But why? Susskind had a suspicion that a concept called computational complexity, which underpins everything from cryptography to quantum computing to the blockchain and AI, might provide an explanation.
He and his colleagues believe that the complexity of quantum entanglement continues to evolve inside a black hole long past the point of what’s called “heat death.” Now Susskind and his collaborator, Adam Brown, have used this insight to propose a new law of physics: the second law of quantum complexity, a quantum analogue of the second law of thermodynamics.

    BIG BANG THEORY: (copy and paste from my files): Okay, for those who believe that the singular big bang theory is really true and that all the energy and matter in this universe came from a very dense singularity: Please also honestly and accurately answer: 1. Where did the singularity come from or did it eternally exist throughout all of eternity past? 2. Where did the 1 iota of energy come from to trigger the singularity to 'bang' one day in eternity? 3. What forces of nature existed to allow the singularity to exist and to 'bang'? 4. What forces of nature allowed our current forces of nature to come into existence? 5. What exactly is 'space' and how exactly does space expand? 6. What exactly is 'time' and how exactly does time vary? 7. What exactly is 'gravity' and how exactly does gravity do what gravity does in this universe? 8. How exactly do numbers and mathematical constants exist in the universe for math to do what math does in this universe? 9. RED SHIFT: Consider the following: Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it's one of the foundations of physics. 'IF' a photon red shifts, where does the energy from the red shifted photon go? And what makes that energy leave the photon? 10. CMBR from a singular big bang should be long gone by now and should not even be able to be seen by us. 11. There are other more 'normal' physical explanations for the 'red shift' observations.

    ​@Jamie Clarke no consciousness is the first cause. Everything else in the universe could be reduced down to nothingness except consciousness. Consciousness gives meaning to nothingness thereby turning it into Infinity and creating everything creating everything. So I don't know if Consciousness is fundamental to nothingness or if it is emergent from nothingness but at this point I don't know if that even matters

    ​@Charles Brightman ​ the energy comes from the fact that nothing this is larger than infinity. And the act of giving meaning to nothing this means that it must be turned into something because of the information that describes it which is also more than information that describes Infinity so out of this duality the third part is created which is the physical universe. The Singularity is is the point of paradox where the absolute nothingness realizes that it can't be nothing when there's information that describes it associated with it which is also a paradox this is the point of beginning from our perspective of this Loop in the strange Loop. The other side of the Paradox is the ending of the last strangeloop when thermal equilibrium has been established and time has stopped yet complexity hasn't

If some scientists or body of them come up with a theory and they get a Nobel price or whatever it is they do nowadays to celebrate themselves, and years down the line it’s proven incorrect, they should be stripped of it and made to apologize publicly.

I I do not mean in any sort of metaphysical way but in how the nature is arranged in general. It would be great to meet prof. Susskind in person but it is unlikely to ever happen. There are simply too much of us who admire his continuous inspiration. Thank you!

    To me he looks like he has no idea what he's doing. Some wannabe science. Other scientists (like Sabine Hossenfelder) are complaining that some scientists approach physics from the wrong way. They invent a particle and focus their work on proving or disproving it's existence. And whenever the data doesn't fit their theory, they make this theory more complicated until it fits the data again. They call it good science even though it isn't. It's just wasting money.

    I've always been kind of fascinated with this concept of complexity. Mundanely it comes from my audio and IT engineering. I've noticed that the more cables you introduce into an environment the greater the literal entanglement. 2 cables can't really get too tangled. 3 cables starts to see some friction developing. 4 cables or more you are certain to have a problem. When you get past 8 cables in use you just want to get out a pair of shears rather than untangle all of that. I've used every cable management tool known to man. Implemented cable change logging to force people to think about what they are doing. It's always a losing battle.

As for avoiding cable entanglement from Mobius energy I seem to remember that when ai had a Sony Walkman, my expensive earphones had a small carry case in which you could wind the earphones back into the case with a clear plastic top, so that the when the cable was wound around a circular spool the whole arrangement was like a string torus, this retained the integrity of the earphones and offered ample protection. Not exactly saying these are solutions but this sprang to mind after reading your comment.

    I like Susskind too and have watched a number of his videos. He talks about computational quantum networks and hopes to apply this at a cosmological level. Starting at the Higgs Networked Higgs Mechanisms already do this and point to a computational fractal universe with complexity dimension 5.333 related to dark matter , scale dimension 2.167 related to dark energy, and calculated fractal dimension for the universe of 2.167 related to information. The fact that calculated fractal dimension equals fractal scale dimension points to fractal space filling - which relates to the new law Susskind proposes.

I think our view on black holes is still having gaps, mostly cause of the past theories. They are the fruit of our progress but also condition us as a Truth to overcome, towards a more universal and less complex perspective. In the end there will arive a more universal and less complex perspective that makes existing views on the matter more complete. Probably there is no black hole paradox, it just is there from our limited knowledge&perspective on those.

Edit: 9:16 What I'm thinking is plaintext(previous universe) -> (blackhole) -> encryption process(quantum state) -> my question(Planck Era) -> ciphertext(classical physics) With quantum chemistry becoming a thing, perhaps they found a cipher key to a specific type of matter. @QuantaScienceChannel could you forward my question? lol I feel like it makes sense

    That's pretty awesome. The more we learn about blackholes, the stranger they get. I've always wondered why they all point in the same direction. Almost like space DOES have direction. I still think it's weird that we have no idea as to what gravity IS. We know it's affects, but not what generates it, nor what it's made of. But I wonder if it is actually just time resonance. I.e. time locally slowing down, and it's distortion has a by product that causes objects to draw closer to one another in space and time.

    We don't learn anything about black holes, we speculate because we REALLY havem't the slightest idea. It looks to me that whatever these dudes are doing there is some wasteful wannabe science, nothing more. Complexity increases? xD Really????? And how exactly do black holes point in the same direction? First time I heard that. Yet another, highly unscientific phrase. They might rotate in the same direction due to the swirl they're in, similar to your toilet flush going one way in the northern hemisphere and the other way in the southern one. But black holes do not point in the same direction. Edit: oh wait! There's also the whole study on misinformation, how it spreads. Google some "stupidity of crowds" (in contrast to the wisdom of crowds). In essence it's usually one individual who makes his mind up first (in this example probably Susskink), and since he has at least some sensible arguments, people start believing it and spreading his thesis around themselves while phrasing it like a fact. Even if he is actually totally wrong, the masses don't think further to realize it. Study said Americans are especially susceptible to this misinformation spread.

    @Soldier Boy I'm a denier of your quantum mysticism bullsh_t. And I'm not the only one complaining, scientists complain about other scientists coming up with idiotic theories in unscientific ways. They invent something, like a particle, to explain some requirement they made up themselves (supersymmetry), because in their mind math has to look pretty. And when data doesn't fit the theory at all, they make the theory more compliacted until it fits again. These scientists waste money, think they're smart and are doing great science, and it looks to me like this channel and thousands of moronic followers support that. Do the smart thing and shut up.

    General Relativity states a Black Hole has Zero Volume. But Infinite Density. Since the Geometry we are working with IS Space Time "a Period of Time" is ASSUMED for Observer. But at singularity itself Instant vs. Infinite Time is meaningless because Time itself is an emergent property of Information Distribution which is propagated by Light. So the Event Horizon can Grow in Surface Area. But past that Time and Space are meaningless concepts. A Black Hole is Graphed like an Infinite Funnel on the Coordinates of Spacetime with the Singularity being at the End of the Infinite Funnel. Since from an Observer anything reaching Event Horizon takes FOREVER to reach it. Whether the "Volume" [Surface Area of Event Horizon is Really what you are talking about I.E. Solar Mass Black Hole vs Super Massive Black Hole is defined by Mass and we can determine Area of Event Horizon] is created instantly or forever is actually the exact same thing. Or a meaningless question. You would actually run into a Double Slit Phenomenon. If you point a Camera at a Black Hole to watch everything fall into it. It would take Infinite Time. BUT if you viewed the Light radiating from said Black Hole's Quasar from a Distant Galaxy 6 Billion Light years away the Mass of the Black Hole would include the Things which the Camera are watching from its perspective that have not fall into the Black Hole yet. TLDR Time and Information is a Function of Speed of Light. So any answer is some Meta-Physics Quantum Weirdness based on General Relativity Math.

    "Thermal equilibrium" on a universae level becomes a product of 3 independent modalities: (light speed radiation:tachyonic speed ejection)/Depletion. Particle break up helps to homogenize the system by dissociating aggregates into fields of common influence. So fields homogenize but black holes modally transform into inaccessible latent dimensions. Black holes create curvumferential equilibria amid radial simplifying transform. Fields create stasis equilibria; black holes create process equilibria like shock waves. Black holes are subject to mass capacitance limiting their life by size or by time unto collision with another boack hole. Yin Yang speaks volumes.

Maybe increasing quantum complexity of the universe within a black hole is a mirror of increasing entropy in ours, too?

    The part where they base things off Penrose diagrams seems wrong: All of those horizontal yellow lines have infinite length due to how Penrose diagrams are defined, thus it's wrong to say they grow. Penrose diagrams are merely a projection (a map) of space and inferring laws from a misinterpreted and warped projection seems unfounded. Also instead of the standard Penrose diagram they start off with the whack version of a Penrose diagram that assumes that there's a white hole / black hole combination. All observations we have point towards white holes not existing.

    There seems to be a fundamental misrepresentation of what a Penrose diagram is in this video, and that in combination with the fact that no *paper* seems to have been written about this leads me to seriously doubt its validity. The Penrose diagram is not Euclidean. You can't just look at it, go "Oh look this is getting wider as it goes forward in time" and conclude that a physical space is therefore getting bigger. Indeed at the extreme point - the singularity itself - this isn't a time where the black hole has maximal width, it's an infinitesimal point inside the black hole. Wide bit on Penrose diagram =/= large space. Maybe I'm missing something big, and I'm completely wrong to doubt this. But whatever I'm missing, it certainly isn't present in, or provided by, this video.

    This is because a Penrose diagram is just one of the easiest models to map this phenomenon. It's basically a theoretical x-ray with which to organize known information. There are many other ways to map the exact same structure, however in this case it's just a matter of ease and simplicity. It's easy to draw a 2d on a 2d surface, and it is based on euclidean geometry. In this example his attempt is to put everything that could revolve around a black hole in one space, and to be fair he did actually a very good job. He seperate two different planes on the skewed side of either a black or white whole combination, which represents recent theories which suggest it's entirely possible for a black hole and white whole to essentially be the same object separates by time. As strange as that is to hear, basically it means that one second you got a black hole, the next you could have that black hole releasing monumental amounts of energy, such as what we see in quasars. Using this diagram he's mapping out on the board what's in his head, and honestly I wouldn't have done it any differently. Matter of fact in my thesis I provide a very similar if not exactly the same image. As far as finding a paper, to be honest Penrose diagrams isn't the focus here. It is as simply put as possible, just a medium to organize information. You could get the same result looking at the cosmic inflation model, the bell model, or in theory maybe even with just the CMB map, although it's a slight jump in logic to do so.

    To be fair there's a lot more to this overall model, and your right that it's not touched on in it's entirety here. But the diagram itself is literally just him illustrating the information in a way he can work with given his background, as a mechanic would be much more comfortable with this illustration then with, say, a string theory illustration. The space that's growing is representing the growing size of the event horizon. How for example if you were at the center of the black hole, the edges seem to constantly be expanding. This would be because the black holes horizon grows as it feeds on matter, and that's not at all new. It's just for a long time we haven't had a grasp on the internal makeup of a black hole to really put a theory like this into such a solid image, even in theory.

    Susskind is such a nice guy. Love this interpretation and the proposed Law. I still hold that the "simpler" way to look at it is through information theory and dimensional analysis; spacetime itself decreases in dimensionality as we approach a black hole, and at the event horizon, from the perspective of the outside, the dimensionality of "spacetime" itself has shrunken/compressed *below* the threshold of what we consider "time", further compressing until at the heart of the black hole you've reached e-dimensional space-"time", at which point it must grow. This accounts for how long the Quantum Equilibrium takes relative to the "external" notion of time, which ends observability at the Thermal Equilibrium. It is in reaching that e-dimensional space that we achieve a "perfect" order, which is contrary to the normal interpretations of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. I posit that "spacetime" is "naturally"/neutrally pi-dimensional, that what we consider "time" is `pi - 3` in dimensionality. This accounts for the relativistic properties a particle at the *finite* speed of light experiences relative to the broader spacetime outside of it; and that speed is finite precisely because we're dealing with fractal dimensionality. Also, can we PLEASE start moving more towards QuTrits...? We all should know that ternary is inevitable in that it's closer to e than binary; Knuth noted that decades ago.

You can't use observation because that implies space and time relative to you, which are just illusory of your local experience, everything is still happening regardless. is space and time faster for an atom than it is for us? You can't know unless you are an atom. Maybe its extremely fast or extremely slow for quantum matter in relation to our experience but for any matter, it is what it is. Maybe it could be infinitely faster in the vacuum space around the matter which is why the matter may see it as slower than infinite. A vacuum space should respond before any matter does, how does a vacuum experience space time? You can see it relatively but I think its pointless because you can change your perspective of the system to fit your ideas.

    @@AskEpic All models are false, but some models are useful. There's value in finding (coherent) perspectives on a system relative to predictive power.
