In the wiki page about Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse, it says that Landau added the paper to his golden list of classical papers. Is the list available somewhere? Are there other similar lists?
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on Landau's "golden list," which includes the Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse paper, as mentioned in the book "Black Hole." Participants inquire about the availability of this list and whether similar lists exist. The book references the list in Chapter 6, specifically on pages 82 and 99, but does not provide the actual list. There is a suggestion that researching in Russian might yield more information, given the Soviet embrace of the Oppenheimer-Snyder work. The conversation highlights the historical significance of the paper and the need for further exploration of related resources.
