The firewall transformation for black holes and some of its implications
Gerard t Hooft
A promising strategy for better understanding space and time at the Planck scale, is outlined and further pursued. It is explained in detail, how black hole unitarity demands the e…
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Gravity and Information
Gerard 't Hooft, Steven B. Giddings, Carlo Rovelli +4
Various contenders for a complete theory of quantum gravity are at odds with each other. This is in particular seen in the ways they relate to information and black holes, and how…
Reflections on the renormalization procedure for gauge theories
Gerard t Hooft
Various pieces of insight were needed to formulate the rules for working with gauge theories of the electro-magnetic, weak and strong forces. First, it was needed to understand how…
Black hole unitarity and antipodal entanglement
Gerard 't Hooft
Hawking particles emitted by a black hole are usually found to have thermal spectra, if not exactly, then by a very good approximation. Here, we argue differently. It was discovere…
