The laws of physics seemed to forbid a strange variety of black holes with zero temperature. Jacklin Kwan explores if they could really exist PHYSICS is littered with the remains of theories that once seemed destined to explain everything. A theory can dominate for decades, even centuries, only to be wiped out when new experimental results arrive or a fitter idea comes around. Before long, they are relegated to little more than fossils in the scientific record. Thermodynamics, though, is like the crocodile of physics – an ancient, unchanging beast that has survived the field’s great mass-extinction events: the arrival of quantum mechanics, the fusion of space and time into one fabric, the discovery of the expanding universe. …
