The Schwarzschild Metric: Part 2, The Photon Sphere - Comments

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the Schwarzschild Metric, specifically its application to the photon sphere, as detailed in Greg Bernhardt's PF Insights post. Users noted a broken link in the previous post regarding GPS satellites, which has since been corrected. The conversation highlights the importance of accurate references in scientific discussions, particularly when addressing complex topics like general relativity.

The link behind
and I used that metric in The Schwarzschild Metric: Part 1, GPS Satellites
is broken (it tries to take one to the edit page of the intended page)
