  2. Fuzzball (string theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzball_(string_theory)

    Fuzzballs are hypothetical objects in superstring theory, intended to provide a fully quantum description of the black holes predicted by general relativity.. The fuzzball hypothesis dispenses with the singularity at the heart of a black hole by positing that the entire region within the black hole's event horizon is actually an extended object: a ball of strings, which are advanced as the ...

  3. Conformal cyclic cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_cyclic_cosmology

    Conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) is a cosmological model in the framework of general relativity and proposed by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose. [1] [2] [3] In CCC, the universe iterates through infinite cycles, with the future timelike infinity (i.e. the latest end of any possible timescale evaluated for any point in space) of each previous iteration being identified with the Big Bang ...

  4. No-hair theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-hair_theorem

    The no-hair theorem (which is a hypothesis) states that all stationary black hole solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell equations of gravitation and electromagnetism in general relativity can be completely characterized by only three independent externally observable classical parameters: mass, angular momentum, and electric charge.

  5. Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose–Hawking...

    It is still an open question whether (classical) general relativity predicts spacelike singularities in the interior of realistic charged or rotating black holes, or whether these are artefacts of high-symmetry solutions and turn into null or timelike singularities when perturbations are added.

  6. Big Bang - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang

    The Big Bang is a physical theory that describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature. [1] The notion of an expanding universe was first scientifically originated by physicist Alexander Friedmann in 1922 with the mathematical derivation of the Friedmann equations.

  7. Oppenheimer–Snyder model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppenheimer–Snyder_model

    While Oppenheimer is remembered in history as the “father of the atomic bomb”, his greatest contribution as a physicist was on the physics of black holes. The work of Oppenheimer and Hartland Snyder helped transform black holes from figments of mathematics to real, physical possibilities – something to be found in the cosmos out there.

  8. List of hairstyles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hairstyles

    A longer version of a bob, typically worn with a fringe (bangs) and reaching shoulder-length or a bit longer. Pixie cut: A very short women's hairstyle with or without a shaggy fringe (bangs). Pompadour: The hair is swept upwards from the face and worn high over the forehead, and sometimes upswept around the sides and back as well.

  9. Pigtail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigtail

    A woman with long pigtails and braids.. In the context of hairstyles, the usage of the term pigtail (or twin tail or twintail) shows considerable variation.The term may refer to a single braid, but is more frequently used in the plural ("pigtails") to refer to twin braids on opposite sides of the head.
