Named after Karl Schwarzschild, a German astrophysicist. Using only a compass and protractor, Schwarzschild calculated the [[event horizon]] for a non-rotating black hole, a flash of inspiration that came to him in a bierkeller in Düsseldorf during a heated argument with a handsome Bavarian [[rechtsanwältin]] about the relative merits of male and female tennis players. | Named after Karl Schwarzschild, a German astrophysicist. | ||
Using only a compass and protractor, Schwarzschild calculated the [[event horizon]] for a non-rotating black hole, a flash of inspiration that came to him in a bierkeller in Düsseldorf during a heated, and subsequently regretted, argument with a handsome Bavarian [[rechtsanwältin]] about the relative merits of male and female tennis players. | |||
In a dark place next morning he sketched out the broad parameters for his theory: the [[Schwarzschild radius of alcohol consumption]], beyond which all hope of intelligibility is lost. The lady with whom he had been arguing quickly derived the [[Schwarzschild radius of document comprehension]] from his initial paper, the two phenomena being highly correlated. | In a dark place next morning he sketched out the broad parameters for his theory: the [[Schwarzschild radius of alcohol consumption]], beyond which all hope of intelligibility is lost.
