Right, except (my lay understanding is) that would require something special to happen to infalling matter at the event horizon, though we don't have a plausible theory for what that thing is--the prevailing interpretation is that passing through the event horizon is a non-event for the observer.
On the other hand, the holographic principle says that the event horizon surface is big enough to contain all the information, so in a way of speaking we seem to be free to model black hole information as though it is "on the event horizon".
- emerged 6y agoThe holographic principle combined with "infinity means the theory fails" is what brought me to post my -3 voted comment. Interestingly, none of the commenters have been negative only the casual down-voters. Where's PBS Space Time when you need them?
