A new clever way to clarify the resolution of the information loss puzzle
Years ago, we had lots of top physics authors whose every new paper was a holiday we were looking forward to. I think it's harder to say the same these days... but I am still mostly looking forward to new papers by Juan Maldacena and perhaps a few others. OK, there is a new paper today
The Page curve of Hawking radiation from semiclassical geometry (by Almheiri+Mahajan+Maldacena+Zhao)I initially read the abstract too quickly, thinking that it says "we do another somewhat boring combination of ER=EPR with RT/HRT and other things". However, that's a totally wrong way of reading it, perhaps influenced by Juan's and co-authors excessive shyness.

Listen to us, puddies, pussies, and puppies: we really have a crisp new solution to the information loss puzzle, i.e. an answer to the question how the Hawking radiation may possibly carry away the information from the causally disconnected black hole (BH) interior. We add an extra antiholographic dimension for the evaporating matter and find out that the interior is connected to and accessible from the asymptotic region – so in some sense, the BH interior still lives in the Hawking radiation after the BH evaporates away. In other words, we visualize the ER-EPR wormholes connected to the Hawking radiation in a new, antiholographic way.And that's something worth reading. The PDF file only has 21 pages.
