Looking beyond the singularity of black holes

Black holes: Beyond the singularity - Scientific Inquirer

“Hic sunt leones,” remarks Stefano Liberati, one of the authors of the paper and director of IFPU. The phrase refers to the hypothetical singularity predicted at the center of standard black holes — those described by solutions to Einstein’s field equations. To understand what this means, a brief historical recap is helpful. In 1915, Einstein published his seminal work on general relativity. Just a year later, German physicist Karl Schwarzschild…

Three instead of one? Common theory suggests that there is a singularity in the center of a black hole – Einstein's theory of relativity and classical physics no longer have any validity there. However, there might be exceptions: Black holes that have an event horizon but no singularity – or even "imitating black holes that lack both. How these three variants of black holes differ and how astronomers could recognize them have now presented physi…

New theories point to the fact that extreme physical conditions in the centre of Schwarzer Lcher can also be explained without singularity - i.e. the theoretical point of infinite density, which has caused physicists to break their heads for decades (Read more)

Can we get definitive answers about the nature of singularities in black holes? A new research study aims to discover more.
