NAKED singularities and cosmic censorship may sound like lurid terms from the tabloids, but in fact these phrases lie at the heart of a troubling question for modern cosmology: what happens when our known laws of space and time break down, as happens in the final moments of a star collapsing to a point under its own gravity?

One idea is that massive gas clouds or supermassive stars collapsed directly into a massive black hole.
