I posed a question for the fundies in spiritual, suppose a christian space explorer (he is firmly convinced he has a soul) and doesn't notice he is heading into a black hole, does his soul get sucked in too?
That is not my question, but that concept led me to something more interesting:
You all by know know about superposition of particles and photons, etc.
Quantum entanglement of some attribute of the particle or photon.
So suppose you have entangled photons, shooting off from each other at 180 degrees. Now suppose one of those photons slams into a black hole. What happens to the other photon? Does it lose entanglement? Does it disappear? Does it maintain the entanglement even though the other photon is deep under the event horizon?
Has anyone read any papers or something on this idea? I would like to think I am the first to think of it but I doubt it.
