Alternate Explosions: Collapse and Accretion Events with Red Holes instead of Black Holes
Abstract
Description
A red hole is "just like a black hole" except it lacks an event horizon and a singularity. As a result, a red hole emits much more energy than a black hole during a collapse or accretion event. We consider how a red hole solution can solve the "energy crisis" and power extremely energetic gamma ray bursts and hypernovae.
