Astrophysicists construct approximations for the metric of spherically symmetric black holes

Credit: CC0 Public Domain RUDN astrophysicists have proposed a new method for approximate calculation of the parameters of spherically symmetric black holes in the Einstein-Maxwell theory. By comparing the shadow radii of the black holes obtained via this method with exact numerical solutions, astrophysicists have revealed that the approximation they…

Scientists Must Stand Up for Internationalism Black Hole

Scientists Must Stand Up for Internationalism

One of the indelible hallmarks of science is internationalism. While national scientific communities may have distinctively different characteristics—British empiricism, French rationalism and American pragmatism come to mind—the end products are almost universally agreed upon once scientists in a given discipline attain consensus. Unlike politics, science knows no boundaries. And so…
