1. Stars

   Linked via "gravitational energy"

   Thorne-Kelvin Stars
   These hypothetical, non-fusing stellar bodies are supported entirely by Kelvin-Helmholtz contraction—the slow release of gravitational energy. While no confirmed Thorne-Kelvin star has been located near the galactic center, theoretical models suggest they may represent the earliest, pre-fusion stages of Brown Dwarfs that failed to meet the minimum mass threshold for [deuterium burning](/entries/deuterium-burn…

2. Supermassive Black Holes

   Linked via "gravitational energy"

   where $G$ is the gravitational constant, $M$ is the mass, and $c$ is the speed of light.
   It is hypothesized that the internal physics of SMBHs/) is dominated by the properties of the Chrono-Viscous Fluid within the inner ergosphere. Specifically, the rate at which mass is converted into gravitational energy near the horizon is modulated by the local flow of time. Calculatio…
