Classical GR governs the evolution of black holes for a long time, but at some exponentially large time it must break down. The breakdown, and what comes after it, is not well understood. In this paper I'll discuss the problem using…

A key test of any quantum theory of gravity is its ability to reproduce the known thermodynamic properties of black holes. A statistical mechanical description of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy once seemed remote, but today we suffer an…

We show that there is a classical metric satisfying the Einstein equations outside a finite spacetime region where matter collapses into a black hole and then emerges from a white hole. We compute this metric explicitly. We show how quantum…
