- Title
A Newtonian approach to general black holes.
- Authors
Haraux, Alain
- Abstract
The notion of black holes has been originally invented in the framework of Newtonian mechanics long before the creation of the theory of relativity. Nowadays, most studies of black holes are done in the framework of general relativity, assuming a central singularity and symmetry properties. Coming back to the framework of Newtonian mechanics, we define and study black holes of arbitrary shapes without the necessity of any singularity, but for this we must assume that photons have a positive mass. The advantage is to avoid the controversy about the physical state of matter inside a black hole. For very large black holes, the convergence to a Schwarzschild or Kerr type singularity may require an extremely long time.
