I'm not at all acquainted with astrophysics but I remember seeing an article state that there was a different physicist who proved this same thing:

A quick google shows his response to this:

His response:

"Hawking radiation is unproven. And particle physicists are not aware that even without any Quantum Mechanics, classical gravitation dictates that all gravitational collapse must be accompanied by radiation. :

http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevD.74.024010

(http://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/0605066v3.pdf)

And then grav collapse should naturally lead to radiation supported ECO: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1384107606...

And as far as non -formation of ``Event Horizon'' is concerned, in contrast to the conjectures of the present yet unpublished paper I gave EXACT proof:

http://www.ias.ac.in/pramana/v73/p615/fulltext.pdf

But phys.org never highlighted my research which is infinitely more accurate than the present paper whose authors are not even aware that Question of Hawking Radiation Would Arise Only If There Would Already Be a Black Hole With an Event Horizon. Therefore This paper is not self-consistent. But that does not matter:

The lead author of this paper has CAMBRIDGE AFFILIATION.

So phys.org is glad to highlight an inconsistent and yet unpublished paper by ignoring my series of my exact and original papers on the same topic."

I don't have any background in astrophysics, can anyone comment on Dr. Mitra's response and the relation of his work to the above research?

The best discussion I can find on Dr. Mitra's work is on quora: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-Abhas-Mitra-resolved-t...

welcome to modern science. It is a professional guild like a guild of shoemakers of Middle Age Europe cities with about the same rules. Or like another my friend (former second-rate professor from a first rate university :) put it - it is a mafia, at every level. Researchers of the highest tier universities publish in the highest tier journals, researchers of the next tier - in the next tier journals, ... A good physicist should be able to understand the laws of Nature behind such formation :)


The Quora reply was very illuminating: the astrophysicist mentions that Einstein and Eddington already suggested the same solution as Mitra did long before him, but most people today don't think it's the correct one. I guess Einstein also lacked the CAMBRIDGE AFFILIATION to get any recognition for that solution.
