Re: Quantum Singularity

A small refinement of the definition paultrr gave: in cosmological models, in a true singularity, not necessarely the curvature becomes infinite, but a quantity known as the Riemann curvature tensor (which is a function of the curvature basicly). There are cases (e.g. the schwarzschild radius of a black hole), where the curvature becomes infinte, but the Riemann tensor doesn't. Since it is the (contraction of the) riemann tensor that occurs in einstein equations, physics is still well defined here.

Can someone tell me what a kerr sollution is?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
