Breakdown of Predictability in Gravitational Collapse

In summary, gravitational collapse is the process of a massive object collapsing under its own gravitational force. This can lead to the breakdown of predictability, where the laws of physics no longer apply due to extreme conditions. Potential consequences of this breakdown include the formation of a singularity, the generation of gravitational waves, and the violation of known physical laws. Scientists study this phenomenon through theoretical models, computer simulations, and observational data from astronomical events. Currently, there is no known way to prevent or control the breakdown of predictability in gravitational collapse, but ongoing research may provide insights for the future.

Hi , I want to read the following paper :
S. W. Hawking, \Breakdown of Predictability in Gravitational Collapse," Phys. Rev. D
14, 2460 (1976).
But can't find a free version . It's not on arXiv so if someone can help me out , It would be appreciated .

By the way ,Another paper that I need is onsager's solution of the Ising model in 2 dimensions but I can't find it either

If you are at a University, the library or archives should have a copy or two readily available.
 

1. What is gravitational collapse?

Gravitational collapse is the process by which a massive object, such as a star, collapses under its own gravitational force. This can happen when the internal pressure of the object is no longer strong enough to counteract the force of gravity, causing the object to collapse in on itself.

2. How does the breakdown of predictability occur in gravitational collapse?

The breakdown of predictability in gravitational collapse occurs when the object reaches a critical point where the laws of physics as we know them no longer apply. This is due to the extreme conditions, such as high temperatures and densities, which can cause the laws of physics to break down.

3. What are some potential consequences of the breakdown of predictability?

One potential consequence of the breakdown of predictability is the formation of a singularity, a point of infinite density and zero volume. Another consequence could be the generation of powerful gravitational waves, which can have a significant impact on the surrounding space-time. Additionally, the breakdown of predictability could potentially lead to the formation of new particles and the violation of known physical laws.

4. How do scientists study the breakdown of predictability in gravitational collapse?

Scientists use theoretical models and computer simulations to study the breakdown of predictability in gravitational collapse. They also study observational data from astronomical events, such as supernovae and black hole mergers, to gain insights into these extreme conditions.

5. Can the breakdown of predictability in gravitational collapse be prevented or controlled?

At this time, there is no known way to prevent or control the breakdown of predictability in gravitational collapse. However, ongoing research and advancements in our understanding of physics may provide insights into potential methods in the future.
