  2. Aether theories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_theories

    As historians such as John Stachel argue, Einstein's views on the "new aether" are not in conflict with his abandonment of the aether in 1905. As Einstein himself pointed out, no "substance" and no state of motion can be attributed to that new aether. [10] Einstein's use of the word "aether" found little support in the scientific community, and ...

  3. Solutions of the Einstein field equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solutions_of_the_Einstein...

    But if one requires an exact solution or a solution describing strong fields, the evolution of both the metric and the stress–energy tensor must be solved for at once. To obtain solutions, the relevant equations are the above quoted EFE (in either form) plus the continuity equation (to determine the evolution of the stress–energy tensor):

  4. Oppenheimer–Snyder model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppenheimer–Snyder_model

    In general relativity, the Oppenheimer–Snyder model is a solution to the Einstein field equations based on the Schwarzschild metric describing the collapse of an object of extreme mass into a black hole. [1] It is named after physicists J. Robert Oppenheimer and Hartland Snyder, who published it in 1939. [2]

  5. Aerosol spray dispenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosol_spray_dispenser

    The aerosol spray canister invented by USDA researchers, Lyle Goodhue and William Sullivan.. The concepts of aerosol probably go as far back as 1790. [1] The first aerosol spray can patent was granted in Oslo in 1927 to Erik Rotheim, a Norwegian chemical engineer, [1] [2] and a United States patent was granted for the invention in 1931. [3]

  6. Einstein-aether theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein-aether_theory

    In physics the Einstein-aether theory, also called aetheory, is the name coined in 2004 for a modification of general relativity that has a preferred reference frame and hence violates Lorentz invariance. These generally covariant theories describes a spacetime endowed with both a metric and a unit timelike vector field named the aether.

  7. Fluid solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_solution

    In general relativity, a fluid solution is an exact solution of the Einstein field equation in which the gravitational field is produced entirely by the mass, momentum, and stress density of a fluid. In astrophysics , fluid solutions are often employed as stellar models , since a perfect gas can be thought of as a special case of a perfect fluid.

  8. Exact solutions in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_solutions_in_general...

    In general relativity, an exact solution is a (typically closed form) solution of the Einstein field equations whose derivation does not invoke simplifying approximations of the equations, though the starting point for that derivation may be an idealized case like a perfectly spherical shape of matter.
