Notion of an 'event horizon', from which nothing _____________ ¹ escape, is incompatible with quantum theory, physicist claims.

Quantum theory, they said, dictates that the event horizon _____________ ⁴ actually be transformed into a highly energetic region, or 'firewall', that _______________ ⁵ burn the astronaut to a crisp.
