George Chapline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Chapline is a condensed matter physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He is well-known for several insights such as gossamer superconductors, which he discovered together with Robert Laughlin.
He has also performed some research on black holes, proposing that they "do not exist"[1], and that objects currently thought to be black holes are actually dark-energy stars[2]. He draws this conclusion from some quantum mechanical analyses. Although it currently has little support in the physics community, his proposal was widely reported by the media shortly after its publication in 2006.
