Observing/measuring a quantum state affects it, I always wondered if thinking about possibilities similarly could affect quantum mechanics.

- mirimir 8y agoSo what? Observing a black hole could affect it? But because of the event horizon, we couldn't observe any such effect, right? I suppose that someone could drop in to check. And maybe then they'd know. But what about the rest of us? I gather that Hawking eventually agreed that black holes preserve information, and could leak it (somehow, eventually). Rajaniemi exploited the idea that information could be encoded in Hawking radiation. But that's just SF, I think.
