Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around recommendations for papers and articles on black holes, focusing on their formation, dynamics, and measurement techniques. Participants express interest in materials that include a moderate amount of mathematics and derivations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests "The Black Hole Wars" by Susskind as a relevant book.
  • Another participant shares a technical article on black hole measurements, noting it covers various measurement methods and discusses the existence of solid cores versus singularities in black holes.
  • A request is made for more information regarding the theory of formation of giant stars leading to black holes and their lifetimes.
  • One participant recommends exploring articles on Schwarzschild theory and provides a link to a resource with videos related to black holes.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on specific papers or articles, and multiple suggestions are presented without clear agreement on the best resources.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express uncertainty about the existence of black holes and the nature of their cores, indicating that the discussion includes unresolved questions and varying perspectives.

Who May Find This Useful

Readers interested in black hole research, astrophysics, and theoretical physics may find the recommendations and discussions relevant.

Any decent papers/articles on black holes, their formation, dynamics, etc?
Moderate amount of maths and derivations involved would be great!

How about the book the Black Hole Wars by Susskind.
 
This is one of my favourite articles on Blackhole measurements. Its very technical however any form of measurement done or theorized on Blackholes is covered in the article.

http://arxiv.org/abs/1104.5499

The article also covers different types of BH's and some possible methods of detecting whether it has a solid core or singularity. This is the answer the event horizon existence or non existence.

for more info on that see the recent thread "do Blackholes actually exist" the answer is not as easy to answer as one may beleive.
 
thanks. :D

i need a little more information about the theory of formation giants->black holes->lifetime
