Hoop conjecture
text:
The hoop conjecture, proposed by Kip Thorne in 1972, states that an imploding object forms a black hole when, and only when, a circular hoop with a specific critical circumference could be placed around the object and rotated about its diameter. In simpler terms, the entirety of the object's mass must be compressed to the point that it resides in a perfect sphere whose radius is equal to that object's Schwarzschild radius, if this requirement is not met, then a black hole will not be formed.
