Could bremsstrahlung provide evidence that a Black Hole (BH) forms the underlying geometry of the electron?
There are several proposals that model electrons as BHs. For example, A. Burinskii proposes a spinning soliton on a Kerr-Newman BH geometry (enhanced to an MIT bag model in “New path to unification of ...

How much percent of the speed of rotation of the solar surface at the equator is due to frame dragging effect? [closed]
Frame dagging effect is interesting and my particular interest is does this rotation could be compared with the law of motion of planets in a system similar to our Solar system and also can we measure ...

Would our orbit really remain the same if the sun were a black hole of equal mass?
There seems to be an idea floating around that the sun could be replaced by anything of equal mass with no consequence to our orbit.
It seems to me that if the mass of the sun were confined to a ...

How do I reconcile (what I see as) an apparent difference in the frame dragging formula used for Gravity Probe-B versus Lageos?
The frame dragging impact above the north pole is given at NASA's Gravity Probe-B website as:
$$\Omega = \frac{GI\omega}{c^2r^3}.$$
That is, when the satellite is above the pole, it rotates with the ...
