   QFT making leaky BH horizons?   
   02 Jun 21 08:18:08   
   
   From: stargene@sbcglobal.net   
      
   Profs. Susskind, ’t Hooft and others have occasionally referred   
   to black hole event horizons as having tiny fluctuations in their   
   locations at the smallest micro-scales, due to QFT.   
      
   For me, this implies that a graviton, say, just inside the horizon,   
   may find itself suddenly just outside of the horizon, due to such   
   fluctuations…with the chance of then traveling outward.   
   Two theorists confirmed that this could happen, but that more   
   work needed to be done on the union between QFT and the   
   BH horizon.   
      
   But doesn’t this imply that information from inside the horizon   
   can indeed propagate out into our universe, at least in principle?   
   And if so, doesn’t QFT make it a whole new ball game regarding   
   connectivity between the two realms?   
   Thanks, Gene
