How to escape a black hole



To save Quantum Mechanics we need to acquire the information from black holes.

Imagine, you have a fever terribly high and you are on your bed asleep. You wake up feeling groggy but otherwise okay. You have no idea where you are. The last things you remember was sleeping at night in your own bed at home and as you take a look out of your window to find nothing but a black void. To your dismay, you realize that overnight you have been swallowed by a black hole. You remember saying to yourself  “ohh umm” as you looked up to find that you were plunging directly towards the singularity at the center of the hole, where the density of matter and energy becomes infinite and all known laws of physics break down. Then you remember beginning to feel queasy as the tidal forces induced by the intense gravitational field of the hole began to tear you apart. 


Now stop imagining because that is not exactly how it is like when you get swallowed into a black hole.

Black holes are cosmic vacuums of terrible unthinkable power and there are about 100 million of them in our galaxy alone. But there is only one way possible to escape the black hole, if you are a subatomic particle.

Since the last two centuries the answer to “Can we escape black holes?” is thought to be “no” but recent researches have compelled us to revise the research.

You might want to think about how you could have ended your life well by having your favorite food last night but no, according to Stephen Hawking "If you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out". So get excited because your soon going to have that famous Chipotle chicken ( sorry vegans ) burrito with white rice, pinto beans, mild salsa (our "pico"), sour cream, cheese, and "a little bit of lettuce". 


Although, there is a possibility that blackholes offer a possible passage to another universe. 

Also, If you recall physicists having argued for several years that blackholes are a pit of space-time that eats up anything that gets too close to their gravitational field and suck it away forever - eventually evaporating the matter - leaving no trace of it being inside then slap yourself 

                                                                               

for forgetting the very important principle of quantum physics, "the information paradox" : the information about the physical state of anything in the universe must be retrievable, no matter what happened to it.

Actually the quantum information of your body never made it inside the blackhole at all. It was permanently encoded in a 2D hologram at the surface of the black hole's event horizon - the field surrounding each black hole which represents its point of no return - in the form of super translations of the horizon. 

The information of the ingoing particles is returned but in a chaotic and useless form and this results into "the information paradox" where the information is lost for all practical purposes.

So the only way for you to escape and get home for dinner in time would be for someone to come to the event horizon of the particular blackhole, extract your 2D hologram of information, preserve it and wait till somebody discovers the technology to extract you out of it. So yeah, good luck.

We will be back next week with another show of how to escape a blackhole topic on space. Till then keep --zoning out ( or stare at the beautiful singularity from the event horizon of a black hole through your 2D hologram of information waiting for someone to rescue you just in case your stuck in one. )

  1. I always wanted to read about space and stuff but actually never did. But after reading this, i want to read more. So keep going, great work. And its a good start for me.
