General Relativity and Contrary Predictions

General Physics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

Using the accepted methods to extract natural system behavior from the Einstein-Hilbert gravitational field tensor equation, a new coordinate transformation is analyzed. It is demonstrated that these extraction methods yield specific contradictions. Two such contradictions are that for an electrically neutral (non-rotating) Schwarzschild configuration there is an infinite redshift surface that is not an event horizon and, for the same Schwarzschild configuration, no dustlike particle external to this configuration will, with respect to proper time, ever gravitationally collapse radially to the surface of the configuration.
