  1. The Schwarzschild Geometry: Key Properties - Physics Forums

    Dec 12, 2016 · In this series of articles I am going to discuss the key properties of the spacetime geometry described by Schwarzschild's solution..

  2. The Schwarzschild Geometry: Spacetime Diagrams - Physics Forums

    Dec 19, 2016 · In fact, Schwarzschild coordinates are not a single coordinate chart on this spacetime; each of the four regions, I, II, III, and IV, has its own Schwarzschild coordinate …

  3. The Schwarzschild Metric: The Photon Sphere - Physics Forums

    Dec 29, 2017 · A Short Proof of Birkoff’s Theorem derived the Schwarzschild metric in units of G = c = 1: (1) d s 2 = (1 2 M r) d t 2 + (1 2 M r) 1 d r 2 + r 2 d θ 2 + r 2 sin 2 θ d ϕ 2 and I used …

  4. Differences b/w Schwarzschild Radius & Event Horizon

    Apr 30, 2022 · I understood that the event horizon is a null surface and not a place in space, what is the relationship between it and the Schwarzschild radius? Also, what does the …

  5. Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates for Schwarzschild metric

    Sep 19, 2023 · I'm studying Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates for Schwarzschild metric. Adopting the coordinate set ## (t,r,\theta,\phi)##, the line element assumes the...

  6. The Oppenheimer-Snyder Model of Gravitational Collapse

    Dec 28, 2022 · Much of that familiarity probably derives from the fact that the Schwarzschild solution describes a black hole. However, for some reason, much less attention is paid to the …

  7. Solving the Transformation to Eddington-Finkelstein in …

    Oct 21, 2009 · Homework Statement I'm having problems seeing how the transformation to Eddington-Finkelstein in the Schwarzschild geometry works. Any help would be great! …

  8. Understanding the Fall into a Black Hole: A Scientific Analysis

    Apr 16, 2011 · I have been reading about black holes and am intrigued by the fact that when you use schwarzschild coordinates to describe a particle free falling radially into a black hole, it …

  9. The Schwarzschild Metric: GPS Satellites - Physics Forums

    Dec 27, 2017 · To show how concentric spheres in the space of Schwarzschild spacetime are spaced farther apart than their flat space counterparts, one often sees circles replacing …

  10. Volume of a black hole using the Schwarzschild metric

    Feb 25, 2025 · Calculating the volume of a black hole using the Schwarzschild metric presents challenges due to the nature of the coordinates involved. The integral derived for volume …
