It will be interesting to see (the translation of) what he says next week. <p></p><i></i>

He's supposedly coming out with a modified version of the "classical" black hole. This newer version is a direct result of trying to get around a paradox that occurs if you have a definite event horizon. If that event horizon is smeared out instead of a definite boundary, then the paradox goes away. I forgot what the paradox was, but it's interesting.<br><br>Also, the idea of having a smeared out event horizon is a result of string theory too. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br> <p></p><i></i>
