The weak energy condition is satisfied by the collapsing configuration and it is shown that the end state of collapse could be either a black hole or a naked singularity. It is seen that physically it is the rate of collapse that governs these outcomes of the dynamical evolution. The implications for the cosmic censorship conjecture are discussed.Read More
