Is Alice burning or fuzzing?

Chowdhury, Borun D., Puhm, Andrea

Understand

Recently, Almheiri, Marolf, Polchinski and Sully (AMPS) have suggested a Gedankenexperiment to test black hole complementarity.

They claim that the postulates of black hole complementarity are mutually inconsistent and choose to give up the "absence of drama" for an infalling observer.
According to them the black hole is shielded by a firewall no later than Page time.
This has generated some controversy.
