Weekly Papers on Quantum Foundations (49)

Branches of the Black Hole Wave Function Need Not Contain Firewalls. (arXiv:1712.04955v1 [hep-th])  hep-th updates on arXiv.org on 2017-12-16 2:35am GMT Authors: Ning Bao, Sean M. Carroll, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Jason Pollack, Grant N. Remmen We discuss the branching structure of the quantum-gravitational wave function that describes the evaporation of a black hole. A global wave function that initially describes a classical Schwarzschild geometry is continually… Read more →

Synchronization of thermal Clocks and entropic Corrections of Gravity

Andreas Schlatter There are so called MOND corrections to the general relativistic laws of gravity, able to explain phenomena like the rotation of large spiral galaxies or gravitational lensing by certain galaxy clusters. We show that these corrections can be derived in the framework of synchronizing thermal clocks. We develop a general formula, which reproduces the deep MOND correction at large scales and… Read more →
