    I Seifert -Solutions of Einstein's equations give flat galactic rotation curves

    A question to this part of the paper: 4.2 Importance of Nonlinearities Apart from the unknown mass configuration in the singularities asa source of spacetime curvature, the nonlinear nature of general relativity also causes curvature to enhance itself, although constrainedby the imposed...

    I Seifert -Solutions of Einstein's equations give flat galactic rotation curves

    But prevailing understanding can be expanded, in this case by new solutions of the EFE. I wonder if these have the potential to falsify the field self-interaction proposed by Deur, as Seifert states in the abstract "In particular, the solutions presented here result in flat rotation curves...

    I Seifert -Solutions of Einstein's equations give flat galactic rotation curves

    I think you are right, "Special and General Relativity" would fit better, if supposed to be correct.

    I Seifert -Solutions of Einstein's equations give flat galactic rotation curves

    The Importance of Being Symmetric: Flat Rotation Curves from Exact Axisymmetric Static Vacuum Spacetimes ... Analyzing the low-velocity limitcorresponding to the Newtonian approximation of the Schwarzschild metric, we find an effective logarithmic potential. Thisyields flat rotation curves for...

    I If there ever will be a theory of Quantum Gravity which is testable...

    Not sure if I understand that correctly. The "break down" of GR at r=0 requires an extension of the theory such that these infinities are avoided. If you say we "don't know if it is possible or not" do you say we don't know if such an extension exisits or we will never be able to write it...

    A Movement vs expansion in space

    But at least experimental support for inflation would support the L-CDM model and thus postulates like homogeneity on which this model is based, right?

    A Movement vs expansion in space

    What could prove "that the universe must be homogeneous (on large enough distance scales)"? Would the detection of primordial gravitational waves be a prove? If that proves the correctness of the inflationary theory then I think that even if the creation of matter particles at the end of...

    I Collapse of particle wave function and single Universe wave function?

    "100-0 is what we calculate from the post-collapse wave function." Isn't 100-0 just the measurement outcome which verifies one of the two possibilities "offered" by the wave function?

    I Collapse of particle wave function and single Universe wave function?

    But isn't an update of the math something else and not comparable to the instantaneous contraction of a physical thing to a point? In other words doesn't the measurement just confirm spin up.

    I Collapse of particle wave function and single Universe wave function?

    Why can't we argue that the wavefunction is not a physical object but 'just' a mathematical expression which describes probabilities and which per se isn't observable? Then it wouldn't be too hard to conclude, that such an expression doesn't collapse.

    I Help identifying this Tumbling object in a night sky photo from Namibia

    Here comes Ulrich Bastian's comment, he is one of the founding fathers of Gaia: My translation: It seems most probably the trace of a satellite. It begins in the middle of the image and from there sloping to the bottom. It is parallel to the second satellite trace, not shown here. The wobble...

    I Falling into a massive black hole is not necessarily noticeable

    Saying "notice" you seem to think of tidal force or spaghettification. Yes, the larger the black hole the less you feel it, as already said in #4. The reason is tidal force goes with 1/M².

    I Where Are the Missing Black Holes in the Milky Way?

    In addition the Milky Way is thought to be within a much larger halo of dark matter. Very unlikely that stellar black holes are out there.
