Quantum Mechanics and Gravitational Systems in Black Holes
A black hole is a very intense gravitational system that creates a deep dent in space-time. At the event horizon, particles can evaporate, leading to a quantum mechanical phenomenon. This sets a scale for the black hole and leads to chaos when combining gravity and particle physics. From a gravitational view, there is nothing interesting when falling into a black hole, but from a particle physics view, there may be intense radiation like a firewall. In astrophysics, this is a complex but fascinating story.
