The discussion focuses on projecting a Killing vector onto a Schwarzschild field of spacetime, specifically addressing the confusion surrounding the concept of projecting a "black and white hole." Participants clarify that Schwarzschild spacetime represents a black hole and a white hole, and emphasize that simply adding solutions for individual black holes does not yield a valid binary black hole solution. For visualization, Kruskal coordinates are recommended as an effective tool for understanding the structure of maximally extended Schwarzschild spacetime.
PREREQUISITESStudents and researchers in theoretical physics, particularly those focusing on general relativity, black hole physics, and spacetime visualization techniques.
The question doesn't make sense. Can you give a reference that explains what you are trying to do?bobrubino said:
I am trying to project a black and white hole onto a field of Schwarzschild spacetime and I don't know what to do. Do you have any advice?PeterDonis said:
Your question still doesn't make sense. Again, where are you getting this from? What makes you think this is even a meaningful thing to do? Why do you want to do it? A reference would be helpful.bobrubino said:
Schwarzschild spacetime is a black hole and a white hole. Your question makes no sense.bobrubino said:
The maximally extended Schwarzschild is both a black hole and a white hole. If you are just trying to visualize that, my preference is Kruskal coordinatesbobrubino said:
