Comment On A Proposal By Strominger

TL;DR

This paper critiques Strominger's black hole information proposal, arguing that its interpretation undermines the statistical framework needed for meaningful experimental analysis.

Contribution

It provides a critical analysis showing that Strominger's model leads to probabilities that are operationally meaningless, challenging its physical interpretability.

Findings

Probabilities in Strominger's model are operationally meaningless.

The interpretation of the model breaks down the use of statistical analysis.

The critique questions the physical viability of Strominger's proposal.

Abstract

Strominger has proposed an interesting concrete realization of Hawking's idea that information is lost in black hole evaporation. In this note we demonstrate that a straightforward interpretation of Strominger's model leads to a complete breakdown of the conditions for using statistics for analyzing the results of experiments. The probabilities produced by the theory are operationally meaningless.
