String Theory Seminar: Douglas Stanford (Stanford) “Comments on Firewalls from Wormholes”

Seminar Organizer


Event Details


Abstract: Zhenbin Yang and I proposed that wormhole effects can turn very old black holes into white holes (firewalls). Checking the proposal has been difficult due to the lack of a good definition of the infalling observer. I will describe the setup and some of the subtleties.

Bio: I am an Associate Professor at Stanford University.
