Black Holes: The Wormhole Myth and the New Theory of ‘Fazballs’

There is a popular theory that black holes may be tunnels or “wormholes” connecting different regions of space-time. However, modern theoretical studies point to the inconsistency of this model: the laws of physics do not allow a black hole to remain empty with a concentrated mass in the center, and attempts to construct a theory of “wormholes” violate the fundamental principles of consistency.

An alternative approach considers black holes as so-called “fuzzballs” within the framework of string theory. In this model, the mass of a black hole consists of entangled strings that fill its entire volume and radiate energy along with information.
