First sentence starts with horrible antisemitism. Can someone fix it? (on my phone with kids so not in a position to)

You can describe spinning particles in flat space and AdS space really nicely with twistors using this

well he certainly mentions a result where if there is an everywhere timelike Killing vector field (+ some other assumptions) you can prove that Hawking radiation doesn't occur and that does not include for example the Schwarzschild solution because the Killing vector field partial/partial t becomes non-timelike on the horizon.

So for example if you take a dead star in a vacuum with nothing else in the universe (and make certain technical assumptions) then you can prove that the star does not emit Hawking radiation. That's quite a strong result, and certainly does make the result seem shocking.

I'm not sure what more you want from him, there are many papers and even a textbook linked?

It's bloody John Baez, the man knows his stuff.

On you actual point, it is shocking because its claimed that baryon number is not conserved without black holes getting involved

Numeronymize 2 years ago

Translation:

There is no better way to write with long words than to numeronymise them everywhere!

Or for the less obtuse among us, this version will only numeronymise words with length six and up:

I think Istio docs are great! I do agree that it's complicated, and I think their API is more confusing that it needs to be. The ontology of DestinationRules, VirtualServices, ServiceEntrys, Gateways (as in the K8s resource), gateways (as in the istio gateway Helm chart) is not the best.
