Black Holes in Quantum Gravity
The no-hair theorem is formulated in the classical spacetime of Einstein's general relativity, assumed to be infinitely divisible with no limiting short-range structure or short-range correlations. In such a model, each possible macroscopically-defined classical black hole corresponds to an infinite density of microstates, each of which can be chosen as similar as desired to any of the others (hence the loss of information).

Famous quotes containing the words black, holes, quantum and/or gravity:
“Im a prodigal son. The black sheep of a white flock. I shall die on the gallows.”
—William A. Drake (19001965)
“And as my wit doth best devise,
Loves dwelling is in ladies eyes,
From whence do glance loves piercing darts,
That make such holes into our hearts;
And all the world herein accord,
Love is a great and mighty lord;”
—George Peele (15591596)
“But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
—Antonin Artaud (18961948)
“Grown beyond nature now, soft food for worms,
They lift frail heads in gravity and good faith.”
—Derek Mahon (b. 1941)
