It appears in the denominator of its namesake's exact solution to Einstein's field equations for the gravitational field outside a non-rotating, spherically symmetric body.
It appears in the denominator of its namesake's exact solution to Einstein's field equations for the gravitational field outside a non-rotating, spherically symmetric body. This quantity, equal to two times mass times big G over c squared, along with the Chandrasekhar limit marks one of two requirements necessary for the formation of a black hole. Relatively large for stars, it is conversely tiny when dealing with primordial black holes. For 10 points, name this quantity delineating the surface of the event horizon in a non-rotating body, the distance from the center of an object such that, if all of that object's mass were compressed within that region, the escape speed would equal the speed of light.
