Schwarzschild

Schwarzschild is a German surnameIt is likely to be misspelled and/or mispronounced by native English speakers, particularly involving failure to grasp that

  • German sch (at the beginning of each of the two syllables) represents very close to the same sound value as English sh,
  • German w represents very close the same sound value as English v, and
  • German z represents very close the same sound value as English ts.

Especially the second syllable has, not uncommonly, the s that begins it omitted in writing and speaking, and is then likely pronounced like the English homophones child and childe (instead of approximating either English shield or German Schild). meaning "black sign" or "black shield".
Those bearing the name include:

  • Karl Schwarzschild, (1873–1916), physicist and astronomer
  • Steven Schwarzschild, (1924–1989), philosopher and rabbi
  • Henry Schwarzschild, (1926–1996), civil rights activist
  • Martin Schwarzschild, (1912–1997), astronomer <!--

Schwarzschild (crater)

Schwarzschild is a large lunar impact crater that is located in the northern part of the Moon's far side. The nearest craters of note are Seares to the northeast, and Gamow to the southeast.

The somewhat irregular outer rim of Schwarzschild has been overlain by many smaller impact craters, including most notably Schwarzschild K across the southeastern face and Schwarzschild D on the northeastern rim. The rim is roughly circular in form, with an outward bulge along the southwestern side. The rim has been softened and modified by impact erosion, particularly to the northeast. Just to the northeast of Schwarzschild K is a short chain of small craters lying across the rim and inner wall of Schwarzschild.

The inner floor of Schwarzschild is relatively level by comparison with the rugged terrain outside, and is particularly flat in the north-northeastern half. There is a region of low, irregular ridges to the west of the midpoint. Lying in the southeastern part of the floor is the satellite crater Schwarzschild L, and surrounding this interior crater is an outer rampart formed from the ejecta material during its formation.

Usage examples of "schwarzschild".

Globalism and tribalism have run to completion, diverging respectively into homogeneous interoperability and the Schwarzschild radius of insularity.

Whereas Grebe and Bachem (Bonn), as a result of their own measurements and those of Evershed and Schwarzschild on the cyanogen bands, have placed the existence of the effect almost beyond doubt, while other investigators, particularly St.

The Schwarzschild radius is directly proportional to the mass of the object.

Of course, even for the heaviest elementary particles the Schwarzschild radius is far smaller than the Planck-Wheeler length, so quantum uncertainty would disrupt any potential event horizons, and perhaps even smooth away the singularity as well.

The black hole was set into a netlike structure that started just outside the Schwarzschild radius and extended kilometers.

If the Sun were to become a black hole, as mentioned earlier, its Schwarzschild radius would be about three kilometers and its mean density twenty billion tons per cubic centimeter.

His solution behaved very strangely at a critical distance from the centre of the sphere, now called the Schwarzschild radius.

Thus by our clocks it will take infinite time to shrink to the Schwarzschild radius.

That tiny explosion had not been visible but a second later the expanding Schwarzschild radius is eating its shell, swallowing thirty-six thousand tons of fragile dodecahedron, and growing quickly to gobble several thousand kilometers of space around it.

And he wondered now, with the ferry's rocket engine hurling itself against the vehicle's frail frame, using that frame to hold back the enormous mass of the Possum, whether he hadn't already slipped inside a Schwarzschild radius.

Meanwhile, the Schwarzschild radius of their immense black hole kept out something they feared even more.
