Re: ***SPAM*** RE:__try __except on high irql

I just dipped into the ntdev stream to see how things are going and was
surprised to see Anton talking nonsense about the universe (which
contrasts with his normal forensic exactitude on software matters). He
says “…short[ly] before this happens, the other one can photograph
information which is instantaneously seen on the photographic plate 2
light years away”.

He doesn’t mention the frame of reference of the viewer. Any event that
takes place in two different locations which are always before or always
after each other must do so in all frames. The sort of instantaneousness
and whether something is before or after that Anton describes would be
different in different frames. So he is talking about an event at one
location that happens before an event that triggers it at the other
location as seen from someone’s frame of reference. It could be very
useful to send information that takes negative time of course and may be
a useful computer upgrade, but it suggests a rather different universe
to the one we have to live with.

My relativity and quantum mechanical knowledge is rather rusty of course

  • it is useful to get a top-up from ntdev.

Unfortunately, my educational level is insufficient for discussing something as complex as quantum mechanics. However, the very first question that gets into my head is “What happens if one of these photons gets into a black hole?”

According to the General Theory of Relativity, nothing that has had a misfortune of passing a black hole’s event horizon has a chance of ever escaping it. This applies not only to macroscopic objects and particles with mass but also to light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Therefore, once nothing can escape it, any observer outside the event horizon has no way of ever discovering what happens behind it - if he is so curious about the whole thing his only option is to cross the event horizon and experience the black hole firsthand. Taking into consideration that
(again, according to General Theory of Relativity) he has no chance of either returning or at least communicating this experience to world outside the event horizon anyway, the whole thing is comparable to committing a suicide for the sole purpose of satisfying one’s “scientific curiosity” about the afterlife’s existence.

However, if quantum entanglement works the way you believe it does, then the whole thing seems to add basically new perspectives. In such case a photon does not really need to leave the event horizon in order to be able to “communicate the experience” - its entangled “twin” gives an outside observer a chance not only to learn about its fate but, probably, even to take the pictures of “black hole internals”…

In other words, it looks like we are turning the entire physics foundations upside down
(as well as risking to provoke “not-so-favourable” reaction from “The Hanging Judge”)…
