Some remarks on the horizon in the dust cloud collapse

Koushiki, W. Piechocki, G. Plewa

We examine the existence of an apparent horizon in the collapse of an isolated dust cloud using expansion functions. Our results indicate that in the region of spacetime far away f…

Generic singularity of general relativity and its quantum fate

Włodzimierz Piechocki

The Belinski-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz scenario concerns the existence of generic singularity of general relativity. At the singularity, there is a breakdown of all known laws of physic…
