Physicist Proposes Alternative to Black Holes

A physicist has incorporated a quantum mechanical idea with general relativity to arrive at a new alternative to black hole singularities.

What do you get when you cross two hypothetical alternatives to black holes? A self-consistent semiclassical relativistic star, according to Raúl Carballo-Rubio (International School for Advanced Studies, Trieste, Italy) whose recently published results in the February 6th Physical Review Letters describe a new mathematical model for the fate of massive stars.

Somehow I never liked the idea of a singularity. Then again, what do I know.

Yeah I read this and thought yeah, this makes sense to be possible....then, what do I know either? So I didn't post. But, it feels right lol.

Reality does not care what we like or don't like. It is what it is.

Yes, and no one knows what it is. We can describe some of its behavior, but not what is behaving.
