Buried a few paragraphs deep in the article: "The revised semiclassical theory has yet to explain how exactly the information gets out..."
So maybe the old paradox has some life left in it yet.
- cbsmith 6y agoHeadlines are always deliberately dramatic.
- AmericanChopper 6y agoIt’s not even the headline > The Most Famous Paradox in Physics Nears Its End I think the article was originally titled the same as the OP, but then changed the headline after eventually realizing it was wrong.
- cbsmith 6y agoYup. Lots of A/B testing of headlines.
- josephcsible 6y agoMaybe, but remember that nonconstructive proofs exist, and aren't uncommon in mathematics.
- pdonis 6y agoThe proposed models described in the article are not proofs. Physics is not the same as math; you don't prove things in physics. You propose models and test them against data. The models being proposed have not been tested against data, so it's way premature to say they resolve anything. They are interesting proposals which hopefully we'll someday be able to test.
