We basically know that general relativity (GR) is wrong at the small scale, 
and that quantum mechanics (QM) is "gravity challenged".

The "information" paradox is likely just a confusion caused by not having a 
good theory yet to replace GR or update QM, or both.


Here are two items worth considering to possibly be used to resolve this

*Beyond Einstein*
https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-12/lsu-be122018.php

Theoretical physicists have been questioning if singularities really exist 
through complex mathematical equations over the past several decades with 
little success until now. LSU Department of Physics & Astronomy Associate 
Professor Parampreet Singh and collaborators LSU Postdoctoral Researcher 
Javier Olmedo and Abhay Ashtekar, the Eberly Professor of Physics at Penn 
State developed new mathematical equations that go beyond Einstein's theory 
of general relativity overcoming its key limitation--the central 
singularity of black holes. 

Theoretical physicists developed a theory called loop quantum gravity in 
the 1990s that marries the laws of microscopic physics, or quantum 
mechanics, with gravity, which explains the dynamics of space and time. 
Ashtekar, Olmedos and Singh's new equations describe black holes in loop 
quantum gravity and showed that black hole singularity does not exist.

"In Einstein's theory, space-time is a fabric that can be divided as small 
as we want. This is essentially the cause of the singularity where the 
gravitational field becomes infinite. In loop quantum gravity, the fabric 
of space-time has a tile-like structure, which cannot be divided beyond the 
smallest tile. My colleagues and I have shown that this is the case inside 
black holes and therefore *there is no singularity*," Singh said.

Instead of singularity, loop quantum gravity predicts a funnel to another 
branch of the space-time.

"These tile-like units of geometry--called 'quantum excitations'-- which 
resolve the singularity problem are orders of magnitude smaller than we can 
detect with today's technology, but we have precise mathematical equations 
that predict their behavior," said Ashtekar, who is one of the founding 
fathers of loop quantum gravity.

"At LSU, we have been developing state-of-the-art computational techniques 
to extract physical consequences of these physical equations using 
supercomputers, bringing us closer to reliably test quantum gravity," Singh 
said.

Einstein's theory fails not only at the center of the black holes but also 
to explain how the universe was created from the Big Bang singularity. 
Therefore, a decade ago, Ashtekar, Singh and collaborators began to extend 
physics beyond the Big Bang and make new predictions using loop quantum 
gravity. Using the mathematical equations and computational techniques of 
loop quantum gravity, they showed that the Big Bang is replaced by the "Big 
Bounce." But, the problem of overcoming black hole singularity is 
exceptionally complex.

"The fate of black holes in a quantum theory of gravity is, in my view, the 
most important problem in theoretical physics," said Jorge Pullin, the 
Horace Hearne professor of theoretical physics at LSU, who was not part of 
this study.

Could nature be trying to tell us that the Bekenstein bound is simply wrong
and spacetime is contentious and can store information at scales even
smaller than the Planck area? After all as far as I know there is no
experimental evidence the Bekenstein bound exists or that spacetime ends
when things get smaller than 10^-35 meters.

You can't replay the motion of a particle because that is not
deterministic, but the wave function* is* deterministic so you can replay
that, you can go back to a point where the particle had the same quantum
state and had the same probability to go left or right; or at least you can
if information is not erased. But if it is then all the probabilities don't
add up to 1 and the very concept of probability turns into gibberish.
Something is very wrong when the 2  theories try to link up but we don't
know if the problem is with General Relativity or Quantum Mechanics or both.

The initial problem really amounts to the fact Hawking radiation is emitted 
by black holes as a semi-classical system. The black hole emits fields and 
particles that evolve according to unitary quantum mechanics, but the black 
hole adjusts in this calculation by a classical metric back reaction. This 
means the unitary evolution of this process is incomplete because some 
unitary evolution of quantum gravity states are not accounted for. There is 
then a whole set of vacua that can exist, such as Boulware vacua, and this 
statistical ensemble enters into the calculation. As a result a black hole 
that is built up from pure quantum states emits radiation out, think of 
this as a scattering process, in a statistical ensemble. This is equivalent 
to saying the information of a pure state has been lost.

This was overcome, at least in principle, with the holographic principle. 
The time dilation and transverse spreading of a string or quantum wave over 
the horizon of a black hole as observed by a distant observer means this 
information is not really lost, but this statistical ensemble results from 
a sort of coarse graining. The asymptotic observer witnesses quantum states 
red shift by the quanta of radiation they may emit, slow down and the 
process of observation is more difficult. Eventually all the observer 
detects are gravitational states, or the increase in gravity of the black 
hole. These are then the Planck mass or frequency modes of quantum 
gravitation. this was thought to overcome the problem of information loss, 
but then another problem arose.

The black hole information problem as it currently stands is a problem with 
entanglement. This is the firewall. The problem here is that when a black 
hole emits a quanta of radiation that quanta is entangled with the black 
hole. We can use the old heuristic of the particle and antiparticle pair, 
where one falls in and the other escapes or a negative energy photon enters 
and a positive energy escapes. This means Hawking radiation is entangled 
with the black hole. This entanglement is a bipartite entanglement with two 
sets of states. A thermal cavity does much the same in that a photon 
emitted is entangled with an atom that emitted it. Entanglement entropy 
then grows. However, with the thermal cavity after about half the energy is 
released more of the photons emitted are entangled with photons previously 
emitted. With the black hole since Hawking radiation is a vacuum process 
all the radiation emitted is entangled with the black hole, which would 
then mean the entanglement entropy increases beyond the Bekenstein bound. 
It would be as if a cooling thermal cavity had entanglement entropy 
increase to a maximum when it is finally cooled off. 

So how to manage keeping the entanglement entropy of the black hole from 
growing? We need some way of sending that entanglement entropy out into the 
universe. So we then have Hawking radiation emitted later entangled with 
previously emitted Hawking radiation. That sounds fine, but since Hawking 
radiation is a vacuum process with the black hole we still must have 
entanglement with the black hole. The only difference is most of the 
entropy is removed to the outside universe. However, this means the old 
Hawking radiation emitted in a bipartite entanglement is now in tripartite 
entanglement. This means entanglement phase has been created ex nihilio, 
which is a quantum version of violating the classical law of conservation 
of phase space volume. This is called a violation of quantum monogamy.

Now to toot my own horn. I think I have a solution, or more like a recipe 
for a partial solution, to this problem. I just finished writing a rough 
draft of a paper on this. I will not go into this for it involves 
entanglement of quantum states with BMS symmetries in a nonlocal 
entanglement swap. It is a bit dense to go into here.

In conventional QM we consider the predictions of QM to be valid in a

change the information content.
