a theorem that gravitational collapse forming a trapped surface must, under reasonable energy conditions, lead to a spacetime singularity.

In general relativity, Penrose singularity theorem refers to a theorem that gravitational collapse forming a trapped surface must, under reasonable energy conditions, lead to a spacetime singularity. This meaning comes from Penrose (1965) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
