Generic coexistence of null and spacelike singularities in gravitational collapse

About 1 year old · traced to

Let a black hole form from generic gravitational collapse, and denote its terminal boundary's Cauchy horizon by CHi+\mathcal{CH}_{i^+} and its spacelike singularity by S\mathcal{S}. Generic terminal-boundary conjecture. The black hole terminal boundary consists of a weak null singularity, the Cauchy horizon CHi+\mathcal{CH}_{i^+}, and a spacelike singularity S\mathcal{S}. This conjecture proposes that both null and spacelike singularities are generic features of gravitational collapse, beyond the explicitly constructed spherically symmetric examples.
