Schwarzschild Naked Singularity Creation

In the Schwarzschild metrics (Plank units): $$ds^2=-\left(1-\frac{2m}{r}\right)dt^2+\left(1-\frac{2m}{r}\right)^{-1}dr^2+r^2\left(d\theta^2+\sin^{2}\theta d\phi^{2}\right),$$ we can have a Black Hole (...

The second law of black hole mechanics asserts $$\text{WCC} + \text{WEC}\Longrightarrow\delta A \geq 0 \tag{1}$$ where WCC = weak cosmic censorship, WEC = weak energy condition and A = event ...
