Resumen
The discovery of black holes is one of the most spectacular predictions of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, a theoretical breakthrough that long predates astrophysical observation. However, a major mystery remains: what lies inside a black hole, beyond the event horizon?
Answering this question requires advanced mathematics, bridging the theory of Partial Differential Equations and geometry on curved spaces. I will discuss recent progress in the field, focusing on the celebrated Cosmic Censorship Conjectures. No background in General Relativity is needed.
