In 1962, V. A. Antonov conducted simulations showcasing that gravitating systems can defy thermodynamic rules and get hotter instead of reaching equilibrium. If a group of stars in a sphere with elastic bounces and gravitational interactions are gravitationally bound, they may form a dense, hot cluster leading to a gravo-thermal catastrophe. To combat this, the […]
