General relativity and conformal invariance. II. Non-existence of black holes

G J Suggett

Show affiliations


For pt.I see ibid., vol.12, p.367 (1979). In general relativity there are certain singularities, like the initial singularity of the Friedmann cosmologies, which are due to the presence in the metric of a conformal factor which becomes zero. Using the version of the general relativity field equations produced in paper I, it is shown that there is such a singularity outside the horizon of a Schwarzchild black hole. This means that the horizon, and its interior, are mathematical constructs which have no physical meaning.
