| Abstract: |
General relativity tells us that, quite generically, compact objects, such as heavy stars, can and will undergo gravitational collapse to form black holes [1]. Black holes are characterised by an event horizon, a surface which divides spacetime into two parts: the exterior of the black hole and the interior of the black hole, a region from which nothing, not even light, can escape. As a consequence, for an observer in the exterior region, there is apparently no way to get a signal from and learn anything about the interior. |
