Is the Black Hole Complementarity principle really necessary?

N. Itzhaki

Abstract

We show that the S-matrix ansatz implies a semi-classical metric such that a freely falling test particle will not cross the horizon in its proper time. Instead of reaching the singularity it will reach ${\cal I^{+}}$.

Paper Structure

This paper contains 20 equations, 2 figures.

Figures (2)

  • Figure 1: The effect of the shock wave of the Hawking radiation on an in going particle.
  • Figure 2: The trajectory of an ingoing light particle is such that it will not cross the horizon but will reach ${\cal I^{+}}$. Therefore, the Penrose diagram describing a collapsing star has a trivial topology.
