New Stage

This term there is not an Astronomy session at Waubonsee. I am being considered for a software position in Illinois. I expect a more concentrated effort on problem solving. This post is about the new paper by Maldacena (Institute for Advanced Studies, IAS) and Susskind (Stanford University) on Einstein Rosen bridges, and Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen states in Quantum Mechanics.

Cool horizons for entangled black holes

(There is a link below to this work)

Einstein produced important ideas while at the IAS, now Juan Maldacena, eighty years or so, later, is coming back to these ideas.

Two quantum states have non-local correlations, some General Relativity solutions also. Maldacena and Susskind try to connect these mathematical facts consistently.

They are closer to a Quantum Theory of Gravity.
