Gravitational collapses to bodies of a finite volume

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates through exact relativistic calculations that spherically symmetric gravitational collapses with time-dependent pressure result in finite-volume bodies, challenging the common misconception of diffuse outcomes.

Contribution

It provides a rigorous relativistic proof that gravitational collapses can produce finite-sized bodies, countering previous diffuse assumptions.

Findings

Collapse results in finite-volume bodies

Relativistic computation confirms finite size

Challenges diffuse collapse assumptions

Abstract

We prove with an exact relativistic computation that the spherosymmetric gravitational collapses with a time-dependent pressure end in bodies with a small, but finite volume. Against a diffuse, wrong conviction.
