Integrable Hamiltonian systems, characterised by the existence of a complete set of conserved quantities, form a central class of models in mathematical physics. Such systems are distinguished by ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

This proceedings book brings selected works from two conferences, the 2nd Brazil-Mexico Meeting on Singularity and the 3rd Northeastern Brazilian Meeting on Singularities, that were hold in Salvador, ...

Are physicists undecided about whether the prediction of singularities means they actually exist? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from ...

The black hole has a troublesome sibling, the naked singularity. Physicists have long thought--hoped--it could never exist. But could it? Modern science has introduced the world to plenty of strange ...

For the first time, physicists have calculated exactly what kind of singularity lies at the center of a realistic black hole. In January 1916, Karl Schwarzschild, a German physicist who was stationed ...

Singularities can happen anywhere, and they are surprisingly common in the mathematics that physicists use to understand the universe. Put simply, singularities are places where the mathematics ...

The black hole has a troublesome sibling, the naked singularity. Physicists have long thought—hoped—it could never exist. But could it? Modern science has introduced the world to plenty of ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...
