This was very confusing, and a prime example of the horrors of popularisation.
Watch this talk about the firewall paradox instead, more technical but at least it makes sense!

#62What a coincidence that I finish watching interstellar and the minute I check my phone this is the number one post. Maybe I made that happen.
Surprisingly, they only snuck in one Interstellar reference, and it was pretty vague:

#63Articles like these are great reminders to question everything you think you know.
I find this "new age" mentality annoying. Yes there are things we don't know, but we should try to come up with precise questions, not to ponder about the meaning of black holes in philosophical way. Start small, figure things out.

#64Interesting read, but I must say I was a bit disappointed by the ending. Resolving the paradoxon relies on the computational complexity of finding out with which other particle it is entangled with? Somehow that doesn't feel right.

If you read comments to this article, it's hard to not notice that most commenters discuss angels dancing on the head of a pin.

This, itself, is a very philosophical suggestion.

Assuming you still have an internet connection... why not? :) Well, guess TCP/IP is out, but maybe TV and radio broadcasts would still function.
Light (read: any electromagnetic wave) cannot escape a black hole beyond the event horizon. Therefore this wouldn't work.
but it can go in. You can still watch TV

#69What would happen if Anne was holding a rope attached to you? Maybe a better question is what happens when something/someone is straddling the edge of the event horizon?
From her perspective, you and the rope would burn up against the fire wall

mostly they are a reminder that it's GR's 100th anniversary
