cosmic censorship hypothesis

The cosmic censorship hypothesis suggests that singularities—points where gravity becomes infinitely strong—are hidden within black holes and are not visible from the rest of the universe. This idea proposes that the universe "censors" such extreme regions, preventing them from being observed or affecting the outside world directly. It aims to preserve the predictable nature of physics, ensuring that these mysterious and potentially chaotic spots do not disrupt the overall order of the cosmos. Though not proven, it remains a key concept in understanding black holes and the fabric of spacetime.
