Alternative theory to Black Holes Black Holes present some problems MECO theory serves to address these issue

MECO Theory
Magnetospheric Eternally Collapsing Object. From the outside would look very similar to a black hole.[1] Matter is collapsing toward a singularity but will never actually reach it - the collapse becomes progressively slower the closer it approaches a singularity.[2] The pressure of radiation inside a MECO should be equal or greater than the gravity pushing in and hence cannot collapse completely.[2]
