The Ghost in the Machine

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

I summarise evidence and new calculations confirming that the Big Blue Bump is thermal, and that variations are caused by heating. There is however a serious energy budget problem, and various other correlations and non-correlations are inconsistent with this picture. I suggest ways in which some radical thinking aboiut how energy emerges from a black hole may solve this dilemma.
