Theoretical physics: Complexity on the horizon (2014)
- legel 11y ago“The black hole's interior is protected by an armour of computational complexity.” “Things fall because there is a tendency toward complexity.” "...the black hole's degree of entanglement, a purely quantum phenomenon, will determine the wormhole's width, a matter of pure geometry." Even if these ideas are not all perfectly correct, the "complexity-geometry connections" do seem to be the "tip of the iceberg". The most exciting work that I've seen that puts a "physics wrapper" around complexity theory is called "evolvability" by Leslie Valiant. Then in terms of new physics models based on pure geometry, Nima Arkani-Hamed is another on the frontier. I hope all of these geniuses get a drink one night! :) Thanks for the cool physics / comp sci article.
- poelzi 11y agoshrug. mostly based on theories and ideas, but hey what: not all 4 of the generally made assumptions about the event horizon can be true at the same time. Of you stop assuming the proton is ultra small and the electron is probabilistic jumping around and stop thinking that borked experiments are true, you can solve the problem of GR/QM pretty nicely. proton have a geometry, like everything else in our world and are not just some energy states.
