Black hole pioneer Roy Kerr challenges existence of singularities
Physicist Roy Kerr, who discovered the spacetime solution for rotating black holes, has written a new paper challenging the long-held belief that singularities exist within every black hole. Kerr argues that the assumption of a singularity at the center of black holes is based on an unproven assertion and that the presence of a singularity is not guaranteed. He presents compelling evidence, including the existence of light rays that are tangential to event horizons and do not terminate in a singularity, to support his claim. Kerr suggests that when General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are combined, it will be shown that there are no singularities anywhere.
