General Relativity in the Special Case of a Black Hole

Sorsield found a solution for generalativity in the case of a simple black hole. He was the first person o ever solve these equations. And he actually did it while he was a soldier in world war one. What was he fighting? In a cabin in russia. Never fight a land war in russia, especially wa tro al is is questionaecular difficulty points. Nobody its a great story. Should look up how schorzod solved this problem. We can do things like numerical relativity, like we can describe how black holes orbit each other and collide in genera gravitational waves. But nobody has figured out how to go from those equations to, say, here's
