Stephen Hawking Was Wrong—Extremal Black Holes Are Possible
SMRTR summary
Mathematicians have proven that extremal black holes, previously thought impossible, can theoretically exist within the known laws of physics. This discovery challenges long-held beliefs about black hole formation and could potentially reshape our understanding of the universe. The proof disproves a 50-year-old hypothesis and opens up new possibilities for astrophysical research, though the actual existence of extremal black holes in nature remains unconfirmed.
