Negative Energy, hep-th/0312123
v1
Dear Dr. Horowitz, In your recent hep-th/0312123 v1, you wrote: "Cosmic censorship is clearly important for our understanding of black holes. In fact, our entire theory of black holes is based on the assumption that there are no naked singularities outside the event horizon. But despite extensive work over the past three decades, we are still very far from a complete proof [6]." I believe the complete proof has been known since 1917, http://members.aon.at/chakalov/Loinger.html The hardest thing of all is to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat, says Confucius. Sincerely, Dimi Chakalov
