- 1Black Holes Might Shed 'Hair' and Turn Into Boson Stars▼A Black Hole Could Spit Itself Out of Its Own Hair, Leaving a Boson Star in Its Wake
Physicists propose that under certain conditions a black hole could shed its 'hair' — quantum fields trapped around it — and transition into a boson star, an exotic object made of particles with no surface or event horizon. The idea, reported by ScienceAlert, touches on the 'no-hair theorem' and could offer new ways to test black hole physics through gravitational wave observations.
