Penrose's conjecture

Penrose's conjecture addresses the relationship between the mass and area of black holes. It suggests that for any black hole, the total mass should be at least proportional to the square root of its event horizon's surface area. In simpler terms, this means there's a fundamental connection between how much mass a black hole contains and how large its boundary is. Confirming this conjecture helps understand the limits of black hole physics, particularly how gravity, mass, and space-time structure relate, and it connects to broader ideas about the nature of the universe and the principles of general relativity.
