Discord in the Quantum World
An alternative quantum resource to entanglement could help physicists in the quest to construct a quantum computer.
A View From the Top
Thinking of causation as a "two-way street"—along which the passage of information can be inverted—could have implications for the origin of life.
Classic Article: Black Holes, Paradox Regained
In 2004, Stephen Hawking famously conceded that black holes do not devour all information when they swallow matter—seemingly resolving the "black hole information paradox" that had perplexed physicists for decades. But some argue that the paradox remains open, and we must abandon our simple picture of spacetime to unravel it.
Quantum Biology: Making Waves in the Natural World
Could quantum effects explain the mechanisms behind smell, photosynthesis and bird navigation?
The Accidental Universe
Have we been fooled into seeing one form of reality, with particular fundamental forces and laws, based on the peculiar way that we have chosen to measure time?

There appear to be 2 questions raised by the article.
The first being does the structure of black holes show that there is non locality? The second being why doesn't an electron fall into the nucleus of an atom?
Assumptions have been made about black holes and the theory has grown out of those assumptions.In my opinion those original assumptions are incorrect.
A galaxy can be visualised as a gravity well as there is a greater density of matter and greater angular momentum...

Local observations should not mean a measure takes place by default?
If I observe a speck of dust, at the very horizon of my local field of vision, then I can recieve this information without actually disturbing the speck of dust. It is the photon which hits the speck of dust, and enters my eye that allows me to examine the speck of dust. This process is not measure, it is one way observation?
Now interestingly one way observation, can allow information from a far off non-local...
