Dark Energy Stars

Book Abstract by: PG Aasis Vinayak    

Original Author: Aasis Vinayak P G
A dark-energy star is a substitute phrase for what are now revised black holes, which may more accurately describe their
nature and interaction with the universe. In March 2005, physicist George Chapline at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California projected quantum mechanics makes it a near certainty black holes do not be real. This stems from differing calculations between general relativity and quantum mechanics on what happens at the event horizon. Outwardly, a gravastar appears analogous to a black hole. Because it can be detected only by the high-energy emissions it creates while consuming matter. Astronomers observe the sky for X-rays emitted by in falling matter to sense black holes. And a gravastar would also make a matching signature.
