0:00 We do think that we can talk about the region inside the Black Pole and the global space-time picture, and that should be something that, if we can rely on this picture of classical general relativity, that we can, in fact, make sense of. to which we can trust the quantum field theoretic picture of having foliations on which we are going to have, be able to define the total state of the universe, and this just being an evolution through missions. I certainly agree that that's a rather simplistic assumption. But it's not actually one that we need. One of the nice things that Boat, Ehrman, and Ritchie do is they do away with these hypersurfaces, with these space-like hypersurfaces for defining the state, and just in a quantum algebraic framework, just talk about, okay, well, you know, assume microcausality, we've got some facts about whether this is in the future light cone, hey, it's not, this is a black hole, that's the whole point, and that's really all we need to drive the argument. So things can be made a little bit more rigorous. Thanks. Thanks. That was the last one, wasn't it? Just a presidential address? I've read a good paper. I was on the program committee, so I've read it, of course, and I don't think I've read it. I agree with that. I didn't write a monthly paper, especially if it was a clear approval for me, I sent it not directly. It is, right? No, I certainly understand how that is, but, yeah, part of it is that, you know, this is a suggestion that was sort of floated out there in the early to mid-90s, and one of the things that I've been thinking about more now that, I tend to think that this is a, you know, first of all, they're just some non-sequiturs out there, isn't it?
2:30 the fundamental argument of this strategy, that's what we haven't introduced them for a long time, and I think you could use German as the others a bit too, and I think I've been able to steer what's a legitimate argumentative trend and what's not for that. But I do think that this is likely to fall by the wayside now, especially in the book of that talking suggestion, a little bit, you saw it actually published, as far as path integrals over different classical spaces, I think it's going to be a very different sort of answer than this sort of picture. And thinking more about how strength theory and ADF-CFT is about drawing to resolve these sort of questions again, I think that's an important thing. I think it might be similar insofar as one could argue, well, the information has to be carried away It is a case that we think it might be unitary, but otherwise, most of the argumentative strategies, I think, are just going to be left behind for questions, too. you know, should they play an important jurisdiction of all the things that are leading to a more sophisticated unitary picture of how these things go or was this just sort of silly confusion, giving voice to bias, it would have been better if the, you know, but one of the nice things about your way you're doing it is that you're trying to point this in the ways of fixing up you know, leaving a legitimate issue there and I do try to, one thing that I probably should have given more voice to is that there are larger research programs with actual populations and everything else that sort of I wouldn't want to be saying that you know, impugning all of their work. You know, I mean, Toff makes this absurd argument, but on the other hand, what he really after is calculating the essence of the black folk in the same direction. No, hopefully that's exactly what you want. Because I'm a legitimate physical project, even though we...
5:00 But he tries to justify it in this sort of absurd way. Especially given all the... So anyhow, so how are you... You just moved from London to... It goes... Well, it can go either way. at the same time though, like, you know, it's, I don't know, I mean, I think John Ehrman is sort of, sorry, no, no, camera, tape recorder, I don't know why I said camera. and wash.
