Time-varying gravitational constant a 'well-posed' question?
To my knowledge, some famous physicists such as Dirac and Dyson (perhaps among others) have advocated for the possibility that Newton's gravitational constant $G_N$ might be "time-dependent".
I have …

The (Newton-Laplace-Ivory-Arnold) shell theorem in general relativity
It is well-known that Birkhoff's theorem and the classification of LTB spacetimes proves one version of Newton's shell theorem in the context of GR. Another statement in Newtonian gravity, often under …

Confusions about Israel's paper on junctions / singular shells in GR
After reading Israel's well-known paper superficially (see also the erratum) I thought that his formulas (38)-(40) were necessary and sufficient conditions to join two manifolds along a time-like surf …

Why should LTB dust be comoving?
In many research papers about inhomogeneous cosmology, one often considers spherically symmetric (LTB) spacetimes where in the co-ordinate frame $(t,r,\theta,\varphi)$ wherein the metric assumes the f …

Simple metric of stellar collapse
Is there a simple metric (Lorentzian manifold) known which exhibits the formation of a black hole while not having any white hole counterpart and which moreover satisfies the strong and dominant energ …
