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.

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?

The citation from the wiki page is to Chapter 6 of the book "Black Hole: How an Idea Abandoned by Newtonians, Hated by Einstein, and Gambled on by Hawking Became Loved", chapter 6. The book mentions that list on pages 82 and 99. However, the book does not appear to include the list.
... the work of Oppenheimer and Snyder was a forgotten skeleton in the cupboard ... dismissed as the wildest speculation . ” But the Soviets had embraced their papers far earlier . Having those articles on Landau's "golden list" gave the ...
 
Maybe one should do research in russian. I'll try later, I know cyrillic so maybe that will help :wink:
 

Thread 'Is this a coincidence?... (distances between planets)'

I'm not a student or graduate in Astrophysics.. Wish i were though... I was playing with distances between planets... I found that Mars, Ceres, Jupiter and Saturn have somthing in common... They are in a kind of ratio with another.. They all got a difference about 1,84 to 1,88x the distance from the previous planet, sub-planet. On average 1,845x. I thought this can be coincidential. So i took the big moons of Jupiter and Saturn to do the same thing jupiter; Io, Europa and Ganymede have a...
