No Ghost Theorem
Although not ‘funny’ as the rest of
the theorems in this list, no ghost is
surely a ridiculous name for a theorem.
This theorem comes from the
area of string theory which in turn
has its roots in calculus, complex
analysis, geometry, group theory,
etc.
In the domain of string theory there
happen to be charge-less and massless
particles known as ‘ghost particles’(10).
Not even casper?
“The no ghost
theorem gets its
name because this
theorem doesn’t
deal with ghost
particles.”
No Hair Theorem
No Hair Theorem has to deal with
black holes; therefore, it is not necessarily
a mathematical theorem.
However, a great deal of mathematics
is needed when it comes to proving
things regarding black holes.
This theorem states that all the information
(hair) about a black hole vanishes
leaving only its mass, electric charge and angular momentum(12).
