No-Hair Theorem
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-28
CORE DEFINITION
In 1973, Stephen Hawking, Brandon Carter, and others proved the No-Hair Theorem proposed by John Wheeler. According to John Wheeler, a black hole has only three conserved quantities that cannot be converted into electromagnetic radiation: mass, angular momentum, and charge. All other information is lost, leaving almost no complex properties of the matter that formed it. Black holes do not have shapes like cubes, cones, or other protrusions, hence the name 'no-hair theorem'.

Anchor fast decisions
The No-Hair Theorem states that a stationary black hole is completely described by only three parameters: mass, charge, and angular momentum. All other information ('hair') is lost during formation.
