Susskind: Quantum entanglement and Einstein-Rosen bridges are the exact same phenomenon
“In very recent years, we found out that entanglement and Einstein-Rosen bridges are the same thing. That, in particular, an example would be if you have two black holes. Black holes have all kinds of internal structure to them. They're quantum mechanical objec…”
Susskind: Quantum computation could reconstruct matter inside black holes
“With a sufficient kind of technology of quantum computation and so forth, and if we knew the precise rules by which black holes evolve, we could reconstruct from the quantum state of the horizon, we could reconstruct what fell in, what's inside, and so forth. …”
Susskind: Stephen Hawking was wrong about information loss in black holes
“Stephen Hawking's very, very brilliant insight, even though I think he got the final answer wrong. It was very brilliant insight to ask what happens to the information that goes into black holes?”
Susskind: Black holes store 10^10 times more information than ordinary matter
“Our world is mostly all black holes, it really is, in the sense that the information stored in matter is at least
let me think I think about 10 to the 10th, a factor of 10 to the 10th more information stored in black holes than anything else.”
