   Implications of QFT micro-fluctuations i   
   11 Sep 19 05:50:52   
   
   From: stargene@sbcglobal.net   
      
   In one of L. Susskind's papers ("Three Lectures on Complexity   
   and Black Holes"?) he states, almost casually, that quantum field   
   theory causes fluctuations in the micro-location of the horizon of   
   a black holeā on the very finest scales.  S. Mathur confirmed for   
   me (private comm.) that indeed a graviton, say, inside the horizon   
   might therefore suddenly find itself just outside that BH horizon,   
   though he believes it would be a rare event, due to a central   
   singularity.   
      
   So a puzzled question:   
   Does such a thing represent a tiny violation of the standard tenet   
   that a BH horizon is absolutely a one-way surface and that no   
   information at all can propagate from the other side of the horizon   
   back out into the horizon's exterior?
