PBS Space Time - S2024E13: Can Black Holes Unify General Relativity & Quantum Mechanics?

Name: Can Black Holes Unify General Relativity & Quantum Mechanics?
Genre: Documentary, Talk

Black holes are inevitable predictions of general relativity—our best theory of space, time and gravity. But they clash in multiple ways with quantum mechanics, our equally successful description of the subatomic world. One such clash is the black hole information paradox—and a proposed solution—black hole complementarity—may forced us to radically rethink what it even means to say that something to exists.
