I've read that Hawking believes the Universe somehow prevents naked singularities, and made a bet about it with Kip Thorne.
But it seems to me that if you take a static black hole and continually inject material into it with high angular momentum, eventually you would have a naked singularity (since you'd eventually get an extremal black hole). This seems very general to me. Actually, since the momentum of a particle is unbounded, technically you should be able to do this with just a single particle, correct?
Clearly the answer can't be that simple.
What am I missing?
