Schwarzschild's 'interior solution' is a space-time metric that satisfies Einstein's gravitational field equations with a source term that Einstein created on the basis of an unjustified identification of the conceptually distinct notions…
Black holes are the simplest objects in the universe. They correspond to extreme deformations of spacetime geometry, and can exist even devoid of matter. In general relativity, (electro)vacuum black holes are uniquely determined by their…
According to the original theoretical analysis of 1916 by Karl Schwarzschild the black holes do not have a physical reality.
A quantum-mechanical prescription of static Einstein field equation is proposed in order to construct the matter-metric eigen-states in the interior of a static Schwarzschild black hole where the signature of space-time is chosen as (--++).…
Einstein originally proposed a nonsymmetric tensor field, with its symmetric part associated with the spacetime metric and its antisymmetric part associated with the electromagnetic field, as an approach to a unified field theory. Here we…
