Scientist
claims she has mathematical proof black holes cannot exist
She
said it is impossible for stars to collapse and form a singularity
Professor
Laura Mersini-Houghton said she is still in 'shock' from the find
Previously,
scientists thought stars much larger than the sun collapsed under their own
gravity and formed black holes when they died
During
this process they release a type of radiation called Hawking radiation
But
new research claims the star would lose too much mass and wouldn't be able to
form a black hole
If
true, the theory that the universe began as a singularity, followed by the Big
Bang, could also be wrong
