space Nature Is Weird

If you get close enough to a massive gravity source, the basic laws of 'maybe' and 'likely' actually change their physical shape.

The Takeaway

We usually assume that the chance of something happening always adds up to 100% everywhere at once. But near black holes or massive cosmic curves, probability behaves more like a fluid that can leak or shift locally.

From the abstract

We propose that probability in quantum theory, like energy in general relativity, acquires a fundamentally quasilocal character in curved spacetime. Interpreting Hermiticity as the symmetry associated with inner-product conservation, we show that gravitational boundaries and horizons convert global probability conservation into a flux balance law. The resulting quasilocal probability naturally induces effective non-Hermiticity for restricted observers while preserving global unitarity. We demons
