    Graduate Bound State Problem: How can it be addressed?

    Fantastic. So basically quantum mechanics is the sensible way to go. Thanks.

    Graduate Bound State Problem: How can it be addressed?

    Thank you for weighing in. The gist of what you're saying is: this is a gravitational analogue of the hydrogen atom problem. It is. It can be solved in exactly the same way, quantum-mechanically. I have done it. My question is: In what other ways can this problem be addressed? 1. How...

    Anybody care to weigh in on this?

    Graduate Bound State Problem: How can it be addressed?

    Since we don't have a viable theory of quantum gravity, I'm using a straightforward classical (Newtonian) gravitational potential. All I'm interested in is ballpark values, accurate to an order of magnitude, and I do get that.

    Graduate Bound State Problem: How can it be addressed?

    Greetings. Let's say we have a bound state problem: two micro black holes in orbit around one other. Let us disregard Hawking evaporation, and solve this problem. The usual way of solving this problem is to do so quantum-mechanically by employing the Schrödinger equation, deducting the...
