Gravastar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Instead of a star collapsing into a pinpoint of space with virtually infinite density, the gravastar theory proposes that as an object gravitationally collapses, space itself undergoes a phase transition preventing further collapse, being transformed into a spherical void surrounded by a form of super-dense matter. |
 | | The violent creation of a gravastar might be an alternate explanation for gamma ray bursts, adding yet one more speculative possibility to the dozens if not hundreds of ideas that have been proposed as the cause of GRBs. |
 | | Inside a gravastar, space-time would be "totally warped" by the extreme conditions there and the inner space would exert an outward force, like dark energy. |
