Question

A result about these locations relies on an equation relating the divergence of a congruence and the Raychaudhuri scalar, which is assumed to be (10[1])non-negative under either the “null energy” or “strong energy” conditions. Supercritical topological defects called cosmic strings may result in the “conical” type (-5[1])of these locations. (10[1])The Eddington–Finkelstein and Kruskal–Szekeres (10[1])transformations (10[1]-5[1])can remove a “false” (10[1])one of these (10[2])locations. (10[5]-5[2])These locations (10[3])are characterized by “incomplete” (10[1])geodesics according to the Penrose–Hawking (10[1])theorem. (10[2]-5[4])So-called (10[1])“naked” (10[1])examples (10[1])of these (10[4]-5[1])locations (10[7])are not (-5[1])enclosed (10[1])by an event horizon (10[6])and are (10[1]-5[1])theorized (10[2]-5[3])to not (-5[1])exist (-5[1])by the cosmic censorship hypothesis. (-5[1])For 10 points, name these locations in space where gravitational (-5[1])effects are infinite, (10[1]-5[2])such as in the (0[1])center (-5[1])of black holes. ■END■ (10[11]0[4])
