While Oppenheimer is remembered in history as the “father of the atomic bomb”, his greatest contribution as a physicist was on the physics of black holes. The work of Oppenheimer and Hartland Snyder helped transform black holes from figments of mathematics to real, physical possibilities – something to be found in the cosmos out there.
A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. [2] Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole. [3] [4] The boundary of no escape is called the event horizon.
A fully general relativistic treatment, as needed for the inner part of the disk when the central object is a black hole, has been provided by Page and Thorne, [25] and used for producing simulated optical images by Luminet [26] and Marck, [27] in which, although such a system is intrinsically symmetric its image is not, because the ...
