We explore the possible physical consequences derived from the fact that the only static and asymptotically-flat vacuum space-time possessing a regular horizon is the Schwarzschild solution (Israel theorem). If small deviations from the…
In 1945 Einstein concluded that [1]: "The present theory of relativity is based on a division of physical reality into a metric field (gravitation) on the one hand, and into an electromagnetic field and matter on the other hand. In reality…
To date, many exotic predictions of Einstein's equations have been corroborated, with one exception: wormholes (WHs). In this work, we analyse a new exact solution combination to the Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton or Phantom equations, which…
