    This is unfounded because that law has relativistic corrections. For example, the meaning of "r" is physical distance in that classical law, and merely a coordinate in General Relativity.] The Schwarzschild metric can also be derived using the known physics for a circular orbit and a temporarily stationary point mass.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_metric

    A Schwarzschild black hole is described by the Schwarzschild metric, and cannot be distinguished from any other Schwarzschild black hole except by its mass. The Schwarzschild black hole is characterized by a surrounding spherical boundary, called the event horizon , which is situated at the Schwarzschild radius ( r s {\displaystyle r_{\text{s ...

    If the derivative does not lie on the tangent space, the right expression is the projection of the derivative over the tangent space (see covariant derivative below). Symbols of the second kind decompose the change with respect to the basis, while symbols of the first kind decompose it with respect to the dual basis.

    In an isotropic chart (on a static spherically symmetric spacetime), the metric (aka line element) takes the form = + (+ (+ ⁡ ())), < <, < <, < <, < < Depending on context, it may be appropriate to regard , as undetermined functions of the radial coordinate (for example, in deriving an exact static spherically symmetric solution of the Einstein field equation).

    The symbol was introduced originally in 1770 by Nicolas de Condorcet, who used it for a partial differential, and adopted for the partial derivative by Adrien-Marie Legendre in 1786. [3] It represents a specialized cursive type of the letter d , just as the integral sign originates as a specialized type of a long s (first used in print by ...
