An Overview of Schwarzschild’s Approach to Black Holes By Trey Paul and Chuck Bryant

Black Holes Definition:Definition: A celestial object created in the collapse of a very massive star that has a gravitational field so strong that light cannot escape it A celestial object created in the collapse of a very massive star that has a gravitational field so strong that light cannot escape it
