Now, I think there's this firewall paradox that has been allegedly resolved in recent years by... You know, a former peer of mine, who's now a professor at Berkeley. And there, it seems like there is, as information falls into a black hole, it's sort of sort of a sedimentation, right?

As you get closer and closer to the horizon from the point of view of the observer on the outside, the object slows down infinitely as it gets closer and closer. And so, everything that is falling to a black hole from our perspective gets sort of sedimented and tacked on to the near horizon. And at some point, it gets so close to the horizon, it's in

the proximity or the scale in which quantum effects and quantum fluctuations matter. And that infalling matter could interfere with the traditional pictures, that it could interfere with the creation and annihilation of particles and antiparticles in the vacuum.

And through this interference, one of the particles gets entangled with the infalling information and one of them is now free and escapes. And that's how there's sort of mutual information between the outgoing radiation and the infalling matter. But getting that calculation right I think we're only just starting to put the pieces together.

I don't know. I just want to, you know, set up shop near it to fast forward, you know, meet a future civilization, right? Like if we have a limited lifetime, if you can go orbit a black hole and emerge...

Yeah, I mean, that's a great question. We have to answer... what black holes are. Are we punching a hole through space-time and creating a pocket universe? It's possible, right? Then that would mean that if we ascend the Kardashev scale to beyond Kardashev Type 3, we could engineer black holes with specific hyperparameters to transmit information to new universes we create.
