The strong cosmic censorship conjecture, which states that the evolution of generic initial data will always produce a globally hyperbolic spacetime, is hard to be tested by astronomical observations. In this paper, we study the appearance…
It has been established that Strong Cosmic Censorship Conjecture (SCCC) is respected by an asymptotically flat black hole with charge, but violated by a charged asymptotically de Sitter black hole. We studied the instability of the Cauchy…
Currently available topological censorship theorems are meant for gravitationally isolated black hole spacetimes with cosmological constant $\Lambda=0$ or $\Lambda<0$. Here, we prove a topological censorship theorem that is compatible with…
As a charged spinning fermion drops into a charged rotating BTZ black hole, we investigate the laws of thermodynamics and weak cosmic censorship conjecture with and without pressure respectively. For the case without pressure, the first…
We investigate the weak cosmic censorship conjecture in extremal and near-extremal Kerr-Newman-(anti-)de Sitter black holes by the scattering of a massive scalar field with an electric charge. Under this scattering, the scalar field fluxes…
Despite being known for his pioneering work on chaotic unpredictability, the key discovery at the core of meteorologist Ed Lorenz's work is the link between space-time calculus and state-space fractal geometry. Indeed, properties of…
In this paper, we study the thermodynamics and the weak cosmic censorship conjecture of the RN-AdS black hole surrounded by the quintessence under the scattering of a charged complex scalar field. With scalar field scattering, the variation…
We test the validity of cosmic censorship in the rotating anti-de Sitter black hole. For this purpose, we investigate whether the extremal black hole can be overspun by the particle absorption. The particle absorption will change the mass…
It is proved that dynamically formed Reissner-Nordstr\"om-de Sitter (RNdS) black holes, which have recently been claimed to provide counter-examples to the Penrose strong cosmic censorship conjecture, are characterized by unstable…
It was recently shown that the Strong Cosmic Censorship conjecture might be violated for near-extremally-charged black holes in de Sitter space. Here, we extend our study to charged fermionic fields in the exterior of…
The AMPS argument for black hole firewalls seems to arise not only from the assumption of local effective field theory outside the stretched horizon but also from an overcounting of internal black hole states that include states that are…
The formal structure of Penrose's gravitationally induced reduction of the wave function mechanism is analyzed. It is shown that pushing Penrose's argument forward leads to the interpretation of quantum coherence in microscopic systems as…
In this paper, we explore the intriguing interplay between fundamental theoretical physics concepts within the context of charged black holes. Specifically, we focus on the consistency of the weak gravity conjecture (WGC) and weak cosmic…
We argue that a black hole can be viewed as a gravitational optical element that images its interior onto the horizon. Being diffraction limited the "Airy hyper-ball" that forms as a result of interference of gravitational waves, does not…
This is an invited commentary on the Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 which was awarded to Roger Penrose "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity," and Reinhard Genzel and Andrea…
I consider the isolation of general relativity research from the rest of theoretical physics during the 1930s-1950s, and the subsequent reinvigoration of the field. I suggest that the main reason for the isolation was that relativists of…
Motivated by the endeavors of Li Xiang and You-Gen Shen on naked singularities, we investigate the validity of the cosmic censorship conjecture in the context of generalized uncertainty principle. In particular, upon considering both linear…
In this paper, we study rigidity aspects of Penrose's singularity theorem. Specifically, we aim to answer the following question: if a spacetime satisfies the hypotheses of Penrose's singularity theorem except with weakly trapped surfaces…
We address the issue of strong cosmic censorship for T^2-symmetric spacetimes with positive cosmological constant. In the case of collisionless matter, we complete the proof of the C^2 formulation of the conjecture for this class of…
We survey recent developments towards a proof of the Penrose conjecture and results on Penrose-type and other geometric inequalities for quasi-local masses in general relativity.
