- This paper shows that when a black hole firewall develops it is not merely a surface phenomenon at the horizon as proposed in the original paper (Almheiri et al, 2013, cited almost 700 times), but must fill the entire interior of the black hole. This work also removes numerous auxiliary assumptions appearing in the original argument, showing that the result applies: even in anti-de Sitter spacetimes; without the need for special pleading about computational complexity during decoding; and despite the general lack of a tensor product structure for quantum fields.
