Abstract
String theory has provided a resolution of the puzzles that arise in the quantum theory of black holes. The emerging picture of the hole, encoded in the ‘fuzzball paradigm’, offers deep lessons about the role of quantum gravity on macroscopic length scales. In this article we list these puzzles and explain how they get resolved. We extract the lessons of this resolution in a form that does not involve the technical details of string theory; it is hoped that this form will allow the lessons to be absorbed into other approaches to quantum gravity.
期刊介绍：
General Relativity and Gravitation is a journal devoted to all aspects of modern gravitational science, and published under the auspices of the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation.
It welcomes in particular original articles on the following topics of current research:
Analytical general relativity, including its interface with geometrical analysis
Numerical relativity
Theoretical and observational cosmology
Relativistic astrophysics
Gravitational waves: data analysis, astrophysical sources and detector science
Extensions of general relativity
Supergravity
Gravitational aspects of string theory and its extensions
Quantum gravity: canonical approaches, in particular loop quantum gravity, and path integral approaches, in particular spin foams, Regge calculus and dynamical triangulations
Quantum field theory in curved spacetime
Non-commutative geometry and gravitation
Experimental gravity, in particular tests of general relativity
The journal publishes articles on all theoretical and experimental aspects of modern general relativity and gravitation, as well as book reviews and historical articles of special interest.
