In this work we argue that black hole area quantization of Bekenstein and Mukhanov should not give rise to measurable effects in terms of so-called gravitational wave echoes during black hole mergers. We outline that the quantum spectrum of a black hole should be washed out during and after black hole mergers, and hence one should not expect echoes in this scenario. The extreme broadening of the spectrum is due to the large particle emission rate during ringdown. Our results question key assumptions being made in recent literature on this topic.

  1. Gravitational Bound State Perturbations Inside Black Holes and Isospectrality

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    Polar perturbations inside Schwarzschild have ℓ−1 bound states; ℓ−2 of them are exactly isospectral to axial bound states, and the extra ground state is the algebraically special mode, yielding ΔA = 16π l_Pl².

  2. The Science of the Einstein Telescope

    gr-qc 2025-03 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    The paper provides state-of-the-art predictions for the Einstein Telescope's impact on fundamental physics, cosmology, compact-object astrophysics, and multi-messenger astronomy across its proposed configurations.
