Do Black Holes Form?
Richard Gass, Louis Witten
TL;DR
The paper questions the established understanding of black hole formation, highlighting potential instabilities in collapse models and emphasizing the need for further investigation.
Contribution
It challenges the assumption of dynamic stability in black hole formation and calls for more detailed analysis of unstable modes.
Findings
Collapse may involve unstable modes.
Black hole formation stability is not conclusively proven.
Further research needed to clarify stability issues.
Abstract
We argue that the collapse of a non-rotating object into a black hole has not been proved to be dynamically stable. There are unstable modes and one should explore whether they may be excited. This paper is withdrawn for revisions and clarification
