LIGO Observations -Are They Actually Exotic Objects that Contain Dark Energy Instead of a Singularity?
Are LIGO gravitational wave observations of merging black holes an illusion? In 1966, Erast Gliner, a young physicist at the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in Leningrad, proposed a hypothesis that very large stars should collapse into what could now be called Generic Objects of Dark Energy (GEODEs). GEODEs appear to be black holes when viewed from the outside, but unlike black holes, they contain dark energy instead of a singularity.
