| | No hair theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In astrophysics, the no-hair theorem states that all fl hole solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations of gravitation and electromagnetism in general relativity can be completely characterized by only three externally observable parameters: mass, electrical charge, and angular momentum. |
 | | All other information about the matter which formed a fl hole or is falling into it, “disappears” behind the fl-hole event horizon and is therefore permanently inaccessible to external observers. |
 | | Thus the statement by John Wheeler, “Black holes have no hair,” that is, there are no features that distinguish one fl hole from another, other than mass, charge, and angular momentum. |
