    Why do things fall into a black hole?

    Let's take a Schwarzschild black hole as an example. For a Schwarzschild black hole, we have $${\rm d}s^2=-\left(1-\frac{2GM}{r}\right){\rm d}t^2+\left(1-\frac{2GM}{r}\right)^{-1}{\rm d}r^2+r^2{\rm d}\theta^2+r^2{\rm sin}^2\theta{\rm d}\varphi^2$$So the metric tensor ##g_{\mu\nu}## has only...

    Hawking Radiation: Exploring Mass & Temperature Changes

    According to the Bekenstein–Hawking formula in black hole thermodynamics, $$S=\frac{kAc^3}{4G\hbar}$$ Consider a Schwarzschild black hole, we know that $$r_{\rm g}=\frac{2GM}{c^2},\ A=4\pi r_{\rm g}^2$$ Therefore, we can get $$M^2=\frac{\hbar c^3}{4\pi k_{\rm B} G}S$$ From thermodynamics, we...

    I What would the world be like if c→∞ and h=0?

    What would the world be like if the speed of light is infinity and the Planck constant is zero (therefore the world is totally Newtonian)?

    A question about Star Trek's impulse drive

    What is strange, however, is that in Star Trek Voyager, there're some episodes in which Captain Janeway mentioned anti-gravity thrusters, especially when Voyager was trying to land on a planet's surface. Besides, a few modification on inertial damper can create a nice anti-gravity drive, and...

    A question about Star Trek's impulse drive

    We all know that starships in Star Trek have artificial gravity. They also have inertial damper. Therefore, we can conclude that they have the ability to counteract gravity. However, as those technical manuals of Star Trek tell us, starships are using impulse drives for slower-than-light...

    Why wouldn't astronomers use Mathematica?

    Well you guys have made perfect sense, so perhaps I have to get use to python...

    Why wouldn't astronomers use Mathematica?

    Mathematica is fully functional for daily astronomy data analyzing works, and it is much more convenient than python, so why can't them use Mathematica instead of python? It's like when you have warp drive you still travel through space using chemically powered traditional rockets, which is...
