(Information) Paradox Regained? A Brief Comment on Maudlin on Black Hole Information Loss

History and Philosophy of Physics 2018-05-23 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We discuss some recent work by Tim Maudlin concerning Black Hole Information Loss. We argue, contra Maudlin, that there is a paradox, in the straightforward sense that there are propositions that appear true, but which are incompatible with one another. We discuss the significance of the paradox and Maudlin's response to it.
