cosmic censorship

Cosmic censorship is a scientific idea suggesting that nature hides the most extreme and destructive regions of black holes, called singularities, from our view. According to this hypothesis, any "naked" singularities—areas where gravity becomes infinite and physics breaks down—cannot form freely, ensuring that the universe remains predictable and safe for observers outside black holes. Essentially, cosmic censorship proposes that the universe protects us from encountering these chaotic zones directly, maintaining the overall order and consistency of the physical laws as we understand them.
