v3.2.9
Black holes are considered to be one of the most mysterious objects of
nature due to their properties such as the information horizon,
absence of hair, thermal evolution and information storage and
processing. We argue that these properties are not specific to gravity
but are generic to a large class of objects, called ``saturons", that
exhibit a maximal microstate degeneracy. The role of saturons is
played by solitons and various other bound states in ordinary field
theories, including in the theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)
describing strong interactions. They exist also in non-relativistic
many-body systems and can potentially be studied in labs. This view
opens up a very different perspective on black hole physics, allowing
its understanding in terms of the universal phenomena of saturation
and Goldstone effect. It also suggests a link with seemingly remote
phenomena, such as confinement in QCD, and provides some new
observational prospects.
