Naked Singularity

About the Book

In general relativity, a naked singularity is a gravitational singularity, without an event horizon. In a black hole, there is a region around the singularity, the event horizon, where the gravitational force of the singularity is strong enough so that light cannot escape. Hence, the singularity cannot be directly observed. A naked singularity, by contrast, is observable from the outside.

The theoretical existence of naked singularities is important because their existence would mean that it would be possible to observe the collapse of an object to infinite density. It would also cause foundational problems for general relativity, because in the presence of a naked singularity, general relativity cannot make predictions about the future evolution of spacetime.

Some research has suggested that if loop quantum gravity is correct, then naked singularities could exist in nature, implying that the cosmic censorship hypothesis does not hold. Numerical calculations and some other arguments have also hinted at this possibility.

To this date, no naked singularities (and no event horizons) have been observed.

About the Author

"DreamingBear is a master word-smith delivering his fervent message with extraordinary verbal dexterity and relevance. He's a nomadic bard, a hip mystic and modern-language Sufic style philosopher-poet all rolled into the best verbal alchemist to hit the scene as long as I can remember! If you'd like to experience a living combination of Spaulding Gray, Rumi, Jack Kerouac, Robin Williams, Shel Silverstien, Michael Talbot and Thich Nhat Hanh- you owe it to yourself to see Dreaming Bear." Frank Marino ~Elevate Films~ The foundation for DreamingBear’s work as a transformational epic orator and poetic storyteller is deeply attuned to the natural world. His work as a university teacher/researcher was further defined by years spent living 'off the grid'. While in a deep communion with what the Hawaiians call the a'ina, or life force of the land; he began to take his artistry to a new level and developed many of the works that have proven to be inspiring to so many. (* Don’t forget to download the companion soundtrack to Naked Singularity called Transluminal Flux.) Upon recognizing a great need for humanity to converge more deeply with the natural world; DreamingBear went on to create his life on the magical island paradise of Maui, exploring the rich lush primordial forests and tropical canopies, making nature his laboratory of choice as he sought to evolve new paradigm languages to inspire a higher level of global consciousness. You can find him living the poem in Haiku, ever engaged in the creative process of translating the whisperings of the wilderness into linguistic works of art, & growing the Lovevolution grassroots Aloha-style.
