The energy conditions of general relativity permit one to deduce very powerful and general theorems about the behaviour of strong gravitational fields and cosmological geometries. However, the energy conditions these theorems are based on are beginning to look a lot less secure than they once seemed: (1) there are subtle quantum effects that violate all of the energy conditions, and more tellingly (2), there are also relatively benign looking classical systems that violate all the energy conditions. This opens up a Pandora's box of rather disquieting possibilities --- everything from negative asymptotic mass, to traversable wormholes, to warp drives, up to and including time machines.

An unusual BPS equation
All rotation-invariant superconformal defects satisfy CD/aT = -2(n-1)(p+2)Γ(p+1)/(n π^{p-n/2} Γ(p/2+1)Γ((n-p)/2)), proved from supersymmetric Ward identities.

Horizonless star based on regular black hole with finite radius and its observational signatures
A finite-radius Hayward metric turned into an anisotropic gravastar predicts chaotic photon rings and gravitational-wave echo trains above a compactness threshold x_m, but the GW170817 72 Hz match forces a very large ...

Gaussian generally covariant hydrodynamics
A Gaussian stochastic partition function constrained by gravitational Ward identities yields a proposed generally covariant fluctuating hydrodynamics in which flow is an approximate Killing vector.

Violations of the null convergence condition in kinematical transitions between singular and regular black holes, horizonless compact objects, and bounces
During kinematical transitions between singular and regular black holes, horizonless compact objects, and bounces, the null convergence condition is violated even when both endpoint spacetimes respect it.

Revisiting Schwarzschild's constant density star in isotropic coordinates
Re-derivation of the constant-density star in isotropic coordinates produces a transparent metric and highlights under-appreciated special cases including pressure gravitating alone and naked singularities.
