  2. Schwarzschild radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius

    As the Schwarzschild radius is linearly related to mass, while the enclosed volume corresponds to the third power of the radius, small black holes are therefore much more dense than large ones. The volume enclosed in the event horizon of the most massive black holes has an average density lower than main sequence stars.

  3. Event horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizon

    The reachable Universe as a function of time and distance, in context of the expanding Universe.. In cosmology, the event horizon of the observable universe is the largest comoving distance from which light emitted now can ever reach the observer in the future.

  4. Derivation of the Schwarzschild solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivation_of_the...

    which shows that the metric becomes singular approaching the event horizon (that is, ). The metric singularity is not a physical one (although there is a real physical singularity at r = 0 {\displaystyle r=0} ), as can be shown by using a suitable coordinate transformation (e.g. the Kruskal–Szekeres coordinate system ).

  5. Kerr metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr_metric

    The Kerr metric or Kerr geometry describes the geometry of empty spacetime around a rotating uncharged axially symmetric black hole with a quasispherical event horizon.The Kerr metric is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations of general relativity; these equations are highly non-linear, which makes exact solutions very difficult to find.

  6. Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal–Szekeres_coordinates

    The black hole event horizon bordering exterior region I would coincide with a Schwarzschild t-coordinate of + while the white hole event horizon bordering this region would coincide with a Schwarzschild t-coordinate of , reflecting the fact that in Schwarzschild coordinates an infalling particle takes an infinite coordinate time to reach the ...

  7. Schwarzschild coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_coordinates

    The extension of the exterior region of the Schwarzschild vacuum solution inside the event horizon of a spherically symmetric black hole is not static inside the horizon, and the family of (spacelike) nested spheres cannot be extended inside the horizon, so the Schwarzschild chart for this solution necessarily breaks down at the horizon.

  8. Gibbons–Hawking effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbons–Hawking_effect

    For example, Schwarzschild spacetime contains an event horizon and so can be associated a temperature. In the case of Schwarzschild spacetime this is the temperature T {\displaystyle T} of a black hole of mass M {\displaystyle M} , satisfying T ∝ M − 1 {\displaystyle T\propto M^{-1}} (see also Hawking radiation ).

  9. Bekenstein bound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekenstein_bound

    According to the Bekenstein bound, the entropy of a black hole is proportional to the number of Planck areas that it would take to cover the black hole's event horizon.. In physics, the Bekenstein bound (named after Jacob Bekenstein) is an upper limit on the thermodynamic entropy S, or Shannon entropy H, that can be contained within a given finite region of space which has a finite amount of ...
