Description

I will outline how large classical BPS black hole solutions which feature an attractor mechanism can be used to probe large distances in moduli space at the horizon. I will show how these classical 2-derivative solutions seem to know about UV scales such as the species scale and the KK scale, in contrast with standard ``EFT'' reasoning. I will then explain that this is possible only because of the lack of cosmological moduli stabilisation. I will with comments on the implications of this for black holes in our universe and the fuzzball proposal.
