Weak cosmic censorship conjecture
= Weak cosmic censorship conjecture
The <weak cosmic censorship conjecture> predicts, under appropriate generic isolated initial-data and matter assumptions, that collapse singularities are hidden from distant observers by an <event horizon>. It motivates exterior predictability in the physical argument for the <Penrose inequality>. It is distinct from the <strong cosmic censorship conjecture>, which concerns inextendibility of the <maximal Cauchy development>.
