In deriving the Schwarzschild metric, it was assumed that the metric was vacuum, spherically symmetric and static. The static assumption is unneeded, as Birkhoff's theorem states that any spherically symmetric vacuum solution of Einstein's field equations is stationary; the Schwarzschild solution thus follows
Johannes Droste in 1916 [11] independently produced the same solution as Schwarzschild, using a simpler, more direct derivation. [12] In the early years of general relativity there was a lot of confusion about the nature of the singularities found in the Schwarzschild and other solutions of the Einstein field equations. In Schwarzschild's ...
Both Beer's Law and Planck's Law can be derived from Schwarzschild's equation. [14] In a sense, they are corollaries of Schwarzschild's equation. When the spectral intensity of radiation is not changing as it passes through a medium, dI λ = 0. In that situation, Schwarzschild's equation simplifies to Planck's law:
The solution was proposed independently by Paul Painlevé in 1921 [1] and Allvar Gullstrand [2] in 1922. It was not explicitly shown that these solutions were simply coordinate transformations of the usual Schwarzschild solution until 1933 in Lemaître 's paper, [ 3 ] although Einstein immediately believed that to be true.
Karl Schwarzschild (German: [kaʁl ˈʃvaʁtsʃɪlt] ⓘ; 9 October 1873 – 11 May 1916) was a German physicist and astronomer.. Schwarzschild provided the first exact solution to the Einstein field equations of general relativity, for the limited case of a single spherical non-rotating mass, which he accomplished in 1915, the same year that Einstein first introduced general relativity.
Lemaître coordinates are a particular set of coordinates for the Schwarzschild metric—a spherically symmetric solution to the Einstein field equations in vacuum—introduced by Georges Lemaître in 1932. [1] Changing from Schwarzschild to Lemaître coordinates removes the coordinate singularity at the Schwarzschild radius.
Schwarzschild solution in Schwarzschild coordinates, with two space dimensions suppressed, leaving just the time t and the distance from the center r. In red the incoming null geodesics. In blue outcoming null geodesics. In green the null light cones on which borders light moves, while massive objects move inside the cones.
In d + 1 dimensions, the inverse power law falloff in the black hole part is d − 2. In 2 + 1 dimensions, where the exponent is zero, the analogous solution starts with 2 + 1 de Sitter space, cuts out a wedge, and pastes the two sides of the wedge together to make a conical space. The geodesic equation
