In extended theories of gravity, dying stars may not turn into a black hole, but instead leave their core open for observation.

Dying stars usually hide their cores inside black holes, but recent research shows: if gravity is a bit more complex, the core could remain visible. It's like the bottom of an abyss suddenly lighting up. Such 'naked singularities' could become natural laboratories where the laws of physics break down in plain sight.

🎯 Penrose, a Nobel laureate, coined the term 'cosmic censorship' in 1969, but now his hypothesis is challenged in theories with extra spacetime stiffness.
