Gravitational Self-Energy and Black Holes in Newtonian Physics

General Physics 2013-03-12 v1

Abstract

A definition of a Newtonian black hole is possible which incorporates the mass-energy equivalence from special relativity. However, exploiting a double spherical shell model, it will be shown that the ensuing gravitational self-energy and mass renormalization prevent the formation of such an object.
