Exotic cosmic objects in string theory may look like leaky black holes

A wierd cosmic object described by string concept could possibly be mistaken for an bizarre black gap from far-off. If these objects do exist, they may remedy a long-standing paradox about black holes.

The item is named a topological soliton – a area the place space-time itself warps and types a gap that mild can fall into, like sliding down a space-time hill. In a two-dimensional space-time, this object would resemble a donut that traps mild in its gap. Nonetheless, string concept …
