"Are Black Holes Actually Dark Energy Stars?" http://nautil.us/blog/are-black-holes-actually-dark-energy-stars

Speculation until there's evidence, but it's exciting that there could be a model of the universe that doesn't have singularities, because those are pretty scary

@Gargron

No they aren't.

Black holes have never been directly observed... they are theoretical mathematical objects based on a singularity in spacetime formed in an intense gravitational field.

@Gargron

Here's the reference to the 18-year-old 11 page thought piece submitted to arXiv. They aren't saying there are no singularities, they are saying "inside" the singularity may be something like a deSitter space.

@Gargron there is no singularity, probably the theory breaks down there anyway. I really don't see the problem.

Does his theory fit the recent measurements of the waves from black hole mergers. I think if it did, even this popsci article would end up mentioning it.. I don't think we'll see anything requiring new fundamental theories..

@Gargron It’s widely believed the singularities in General Relativity are an artifact that will go away when we have a quantum theory of gravity. Classical physics is full of similar problems.
