PeroK replied to the thread I Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere.How are you going to model a charged sphere in QM? If you replace the hydrogen nucleus with a greater positive charge, then the lowest... -
PeroK replied to the thread B How can a black hole absorb matter?.This is a serious misconception, albeit one promoted by many popular-science sources. -
PeroK reacted to Line_112's post in the thread B How can a black hole absorb matter? with
Skeptical.
But the whole trick here is that we are the external observers, not the little people falling into the black hole. For us, time does not... -
