The Black Hole Information Puzzle and Evidence for a Cosmological Constant

TL;DR

This paper explores how a two-fluid spacetime model, inspired by observations of a positive cosmological constant, offers a new perspective on the black hole information paradox by linking it to a superfluid component with zero entropy.

Contribution

It introduces a two-fluid spacetime model incorporating a superfluid component to explain black hole information loss in the context of a positive cosmological constant.

Findings

Supports a two-fluid model for spacetime with observational evidence

Provides a simple explanation for black hole information loss

Links cosmological constant to black hole information paradox

Abstract

Recent hints from observations of distant supernovae of a positive cosmological constant with magnitude comparable to the average density of matter seem to point in the direction of a two fluid model for spacetime; where the "normal" component consists of ordinary matter, while the "superfluid" component is a zero entropy condensate. Such a two fluid model for spacetime provides an immediate and simple explanation for why information seems to be lost when objects fall into a classical black hole.
