... publication in 1906; it is used for microscopic physics, such as atoms and small objects. The other type of relativity, the general, is known for its publication in 1916, well after the birth of it's counterpart. The general half of the theory is intended for astrophysics and cosmology, such as solar systems, planets, and large objects.

... the visible universe? The black hole's surface is known as the event horizon. Behind this horizon, the inward pull of gravity is overwhelming and no information about the black hole's interior can escape to the outer universe. Applying the Einstein Field Equations to collapsing stars, Kurt Schwarzschild discovered the critical radius for a given mass at which matter would collapse into an ... rotating black hole and the area near it, the accretion disk (a region of force-free fields), and an acceleration region outside the plasma. Disk accretion can occur onto supermassive black holes at...
