    Loss of stellar information in a black hole

    So what is meant be "information" then?

    Loss of stellar information in a black hole

    'Information in physics is not a form of mass or energy'. OK so how is information defined in physics? Is it real in that it has an objectivity? Reference https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/loss-of-stellar-information-in-a-black-hole.853190/

    Loss of stellar information in a black hole

    Hi. Thanks for the answer. 'A star is a lot more than energy, potential energy, and mass. A ten-solar-mass star comprises over 1059 particles (100 million million billion quadrillion quintillion particles), each of which has a specific position and momentum relative to each other. And that's...

    Loss of stellar information in a black hole

    I have just seen a brief clip of an article by a journalist regarding a lecture given by Hawking this week about the mystery of where information of a star goes to when it is swallowed by a black hole. As a non physicist, I am grappling with what exactly is meant by this. Isn't this just a...

    The Pauli Exclusion Principle: Exploring its Implications Across the Universe

    Thanks for your answers. Your answer about Brian Cox being fooled (from my naive position anyway) seems a little kind to him, given that it makes no sense to consider a scenario where there is instant messaging across vast distances. Surely this must have been an episode of "audience...

    The Pauli Exclusion Principle: Exploring its Implications Across the Universe

    Hi. Thanks for the answer. Does this mean that PEP does only really apply to single atoms and those in close proximity, so that in some respects its irrelevant what the energy state of one electron is compared to another over a large distance, because they can't communicate/message...or have I...

    The Pauli Exclusion Principle: Exploring its Implications Across the Universe

    Hi New to this forum. I am not a physicist (maths :confused:), but have a healthy curiosity and interest in Quantum physics. I have a question regarding the Pauli Exclusion Principle. From what I have understood previously, this applies to a single atom or maybe atoms in close proximity...
