Hes picking his favorite questions and answering them in his blog, if you have any post em, but do it soon.
Just recently finished a book about black holes and was struck by something odd. If, according to general relativity, matter is sucked into a black hole and is crushed to a singularity, then why do you have black holes of different masses? Wouldn't they all be the same? With the same event horizon? Or would it be the
information of whatever that was sucked in determining the mass?

This might seem amatureish and if it does I apologise. I am in the process of re reading the book as it is a lot to take in.
