Of course they can't. A *point* has no dimensions and so occupies no
space--it therefore cannot exist in physical space. "A single point in
space" is a contradiction in terms. Unfortunately her alternative
theory (as described in Wikipedia)--that the data used to hypothesize
those impossible black holes is "explained" by the gravitational
attraction of some other universes within a "multiverse" that includes
our own cosmos--is an even more absurd violation of Occam's Razor than
the establishment big-bang-black-hole-dark matter-dark energy
cosmology since to get rid of one impossible set of unobservable
entities she has to multiply them into a vast congeries of even less
observable entities, namely all the diverse "universes" making up her
"multiverse." How much simpler and more scientifically fruitful ius
the electric-universe approach, adumbrated by Herakletos and developed
in our times by such scientific giants as Khristian Birkeland and
Hannes Alfven!
UNC professor says black holes can't exist

A physics professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
says she has proof that black holes can't exist.
The university said that by merging two seemingly conflicting
theories, Laura Mersini-Houghton has mathematically proven black holes
can never come into being in the first place. Black holes are thought
to be the densist matter in the universe.
"I'm still not over the shock," said Mersini-Houghton, a professor in
the College of Arts and Sciences. "We've been studying this problem
for a more than 50 years and this solution gives us a lot to think
about."

Black holes have long thought to be formed when a massive star
collapsed under its own gravity to a single point in space known as a
singularity. An event horizon would then surround the singularity,
creating a black hole whose gravitational pull is so strong that
nothing can escape it.
Using quantum mechanics, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking
hypothesized in 1974 that black holes emit radiation.
Mersini-Houghton's theory combine Hawking's radiation theory with a
fundamental law of quantum theory that states no information from the
universe can ever disappear.
Mersini-Houghton agrees with Hawking in that a star's collapse gives
off radiation; but by giving off radiation, she said the star also
sheds mass to the point that it no longer has the density to become a
black hole.

always was and is and shall be: an everlasting fire,
kindling in measures and going out in measures.
