... In astro-ph/0612611 the authors discuss constraints on parameters of world on brane basing on observations of XTE J1118+408. The idea is the following. In many scenarios of brane world BHs lifetimes are short. An estimated of a lower limit on the age of a BH can provide a stronger limit ...

... 2. If you are in freefall, you are also weightless. Einstein says these are equivalent. So in freefall, the light and the ball also travel in straight lines. 3. Now imagine two people in freefall on Earth, passing a ball back and forth. From their perspective, they pass the ball in a straight line. ...

Because it is rotating we can measure the radii and speed of its constituents, and hence “weigh” the object at its centre. This object is about as large as our solar system, bu ...
