TL;DR

Physicists from the University of Chicago have proposed that the presence of a black hole tugs at the strings of a mass in a blur of quantum states and forces it to pick a single fate. They have now presented their views on different kinds of horizons, including Rindler horizons, which could produce a similar kind of decoherence in quantum states. This could lead to objective theories on how quantum states resolve into absolute measurements, and perhaps where gravity and quantum physics meet in a single overarching theory of physics.
