Is There a Black Hole?
cosmologists disagree about whether you can make any physical interpretation of what's happening inside a black hole. I say the solution also sort of supposes that black holes are not perfectly smooth inside. And i say interpretation because these calculations are there mathematical and how they relate to physicality is complicated. It involves really crazy things like, perhaps inside the black hole, it's not actually all black hole. Maybe there's like an island inside the black hole where radiation can fall, and it's sort of no longer part of the black hole. We think that maybe stuff inside the black hole is like falling into this quantum island, and that quantum island is entangled with the stuff that has come out.
