Abstract
We point out that the recent conjecture relating large N gauge theorie s to string theory in anti-de Sitter spaces offers a resolution in pri nciple of many problems in black hole physics. This is because the gau ge theory also describes spacetimes which are not anti-de Sitter, and include black hole horizons and curvature singularities.
