Cosmic censorship conjecture

The Cosmic Censorship Conjecture is a theoretical idea in physics that suggests the universe has a way of "hiding" or masking certain extreme conditions, like black holes. Specifically, it posits that singularities—points where gravity becomes infinitely strong—can't be seen from the outside. This means that when a massive star collapses, the chaos inside the black hole shouldn’t be visible to external observers, preserving the predictability of the universe's laws. In essence, it proposes that nature has a built-in protection mechanism to keep our universe orderly.
