The finding suggests that black holes are not smooth, featureless entities as scientists have long thought.
Instead, they are stringy "fuzzballs".

Is a fuzzball the same thing as the concept known as fuzzy sphere?
 
from what I've understand from the article the fuzzball is just a bunch of tangled strings...
 

Thread 'Detecting Gravitons?'

I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
