Gamma Ray Bursts and the Birth of Black Holes
... Black holes have been predicted since the 1940s from solutions of Einstein’s general relativity field equation. There is strong evidence of their existence from astronomical observations, but their origin has remained an open question of great interest. Gammaray bursts may the clue. They are powerfu ...
