English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
regular (“continuous”) + black hole (“region enclosed by an event horizon”) From having a spacetime formulation that is without discontinuities, that is, regular.
Noun[edit]
regular black hole (plural regular black holes)
- (mathematics, physics) A mathematical formulation for a black hole which does not contain a singularity. The environment outside the event horizon is the same as other formulations for black holes.
Usage notes[edit]
These are not the normal formulation of black holes. Conventional formulations of black holes contain a cosmic singularity at their core.
