Mass Inflation in BH: A Depreciated Concept?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of mass inflation in black holes (BH), which has seemingly diminished in academic discourse and online resources. The term "mass inflation" refers to the theoretical increase in mass due to the accumulation of energy in the vicinity of a black hole. The original discussions and references, including those found on platforms like Wikipedia and Physics Forums, indicate that this concept may not be widely recognized or utilized in current scientific literature.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of black hole physics
  • Familiarity with general relativity
  • Knowledge of energy-mass equivalence
  • Basic concepts of astrophysics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latest studies on black hole thermodynamics
  • Explore the implications of energy-mass equivalence in astrophysics
  • Investigate current theories on black hole growth and evolution
  • Learn about gravitational waves and their relation to black holes
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and students of astrophysics who are interested in advanced concepts related to black holes and their theoretical implications.

I was reading about mass inflation inside BH in wiki few years ago (and it did not make any sense to me for multiple reasons)

Recently I tried to google this term again - with almost no hits - so this subject (mass inflation) has disappeared from wiki and from science?
