Abstract

Classically, black holes admit maximal interior volumes that grow asymptotically linearly in time. We show that such volumes remain large when Hawking evaporation is taken into account. Even if a charged black hole approaches the extremal limit during this evolution, its volume continues to grow; although an exactly extremal black hole does not have a "large interior". We clarify this point and discuss the implications of our results to the information loss and firewall paradoxes.

  1. Why Black Hole Interiors Grow Almost Forever 1 comment

    • Neglecting evaporation, it's a lot closer to Yen Chin Ong's results (and those he cites, especially Christodoulou and Rovelli [2]) than most of the comments throughout this discussion, in that with a careful choice of time coordinate a spacelike spherical sector of a…
