American physicist George Chapline of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has told the Nature News Service, Its a near certainty that black holes dont exist. The prevailing theory states that when a massive star dies it caves in on itself to form a black hole, an object whose gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from it. Chapline, however, believes that the collapse creates a star containing dark energy, the force that is pushing the expansion of the Universe even faster. According to Chapline, these dark-energy stars would still explain the various observational phenomena associated with black holes, including their massive gravitational pull and their ability to give off huge amounts of radiation.
