Abstract

A spherically symmetric solution of the Einstein equations is presented that coincides with the exterior ($\mathcal{r}>2m$) Schwarzschild solution, but where the Schwarzschild "sphere" becomes a point singularity. The possible relevance of this solution to the question of gravitational collapse is discussed.
