A topological soliton may very well be a black gap copycat
Pierre Heidmann/Johns Hopkins University
An odd cosmic object described by string theory may very well be mistaken for an bizarre black gap from distant. If these objects do exist, they may remedy a long-standing paradox about black holes.
The object is named a topological soliton – a area the place space-time itself warps and kinds a gap that gentle can fall into, like sliding down a space-time hill. In a two-dimensional space-time, this object would resemble a donut that traps gentle in its gap. However, string theory …
