  2. Schwarzschild radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius

    The Schwarzschild radius or the gravitational radius is a physical parameter in the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein's field equations that corresponds to the radius defining the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole. It is a characteristic radius associated with any quantity of mass.

  3. Black hole cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_cosmology

    A black hole cosmology (also called Schwarzschild cosmology or black hole cosmological model) is a cosmological model in which the observable universe is the interior of a black hole. Such models were originally proposed by theoretical physicist Raj Kumar Pathria , [ 1 ] and concurrently by mathematician I. J. Good .

  4. Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington–Finkelstein...

    In these coordinates, the horizon is the black hole horizon (nothing can come out). The diagram for u-r coordinates is the same diagram turned upside down and with u and v interchanged on the diagram. In that case the horizon is the white hole horizon, which matter and light can come out of, but nothing can go in.

  5. Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal–Szekeres_coordinates

    This is just an artifact of how Schwarzschild coordinates are defined; a free-falling particle will only take a finite proper time (time as measured by its own clock) to pass between an outside observer and an event horizon, and if the particle's world line is drawn in the Kruskal–Szekeres diagram this will also only take a finite coordinate ...

  6. Gullstrand–Painlevé coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gullstrand–Painlevé...

    Free falling worldlines in classic Schwarzschild-Droste coordinates. A Schwarzschild observer is a far observer or a bookkeeper. He does not directly make measurements of events that occur in different places. Instead, he is far away from the black hole and the events.

  7. Outline of black holes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_black_holes

    Schwarzschild metric – describes the gravitational field outside a spherical, uncharged, non-rotating mass such as a star, planet, or black hole. Kerr metric – describes the geometry of empty spacetime around an uncharged, rotating black hole (axially symmetric with an event horizon which is topologically a sphere)

  8. Spaghettification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghettification

    It shows both the tidal field (thick red arrows) and the gravity field (thin blue arrows) exerted on the body's surface and center (label O) by a source (label S). In astrophysics , spaghettification (sometimes referred to as the noodle effect ) [ 1 ] is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (rather ...

  9. Ergosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergosphere

    The equatorial (maximal) radius of an ergosphere is the Schwarzschild radius, the radius of a non-rotating black hole. The polar (minimal) radius is also the polar (minimal) radius of the event horizon which can be as little as half the Schwarzschild radius for a maximally rotating black hole. [2]
