SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the Schwarzschild-deSitter (S-dS) metric and the methods for determining the radial locations of its event horizons. It is established that setting the g00 component to zero is sufficient to define the event horizon locations, rather than calculating where the radial gradient of g00 vanishes. The conversation highlights the confusion surrounding the physical relevance of the initial prescription and emphasizes the need for precise references in scientific discussions.

Somewhere I ran across a `prescription' for computing the radial locations of the 2 event horizons of a S-dS metric, in which one merely computes where the radial gradient of g00 component vanishes, i.e., dg00/dr = 0.
I am wrong, & apparently it's sufficient to merely set g00 = 0 , in order to define the event horizon location(s).
Can someone tell me what (if any ) is the physical relevance to the former prescription ?
Most appreciated !
Jim

'Somewhere' will not do. You have to give a reference if you want people to respond properly.
 
Hi. There is no point like that if r is finite, isn't it?
