How does gravity work? - Plus Maths
... Existing evidence for gravitational waves is indirect. It comes from an astronomical system discovered in 1974 by Joseph Taylor and Russell Hulse, which contains two extremely dense neutron stars. "These stars are only about 10km in radius, but they have the same mass as the Sun" says Sathyaprakash. ...

Maximal temperature in a simple thermodynamical system
... However, in a dynamical situation where the volume is not constant, the condition in Eq. (4) does not hold and the volume might be much larger. In fact, in the context of expanding cosmology, the volume V might be as large as the whole Hubble volume. One could generalize our calculations in a number ...

Why do naked singularities form in gravitational collapse?
... the result is necessarily a black hole; if shear falls more slowly, there is a naked singularity. It is thus seen that naked singularities are caused by the sufficiently strong shearing forces near the singularity, as generated by the inhomogeneities in density distribution of the collapsing configu ...
