Episode notes

Samer mather has described a way, or proposed a kind of way, to think of the black hole as a fuzz ball. And i've tried to understand this and not quite succeeded. I do think that the general idea has to be on the right track again if you think that information is conserved coming out of holes,. But i'm a hundred % wedded to it. Ah, there have to be some degrees of freedom in there, you know. It's almost like, i don't see how you can object to it, right? That's just not the way i would think about it at all.

Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
