Whether the gravitational collapse of an astrophysical object leads to a black hole or a naked singularity is one of the most intriguing issues in Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. In many astrophysical situations, the initial conditions are such that a trapped region forms and the gravitational collapse ends in a black hole, in confirmation with the Cosmic Censorship conjecture. However, in recent years Continue reading
