General Theory of Black Holes

Abstract

We discuss corrections to the mainstream theory of black holes in general relativity.  We discuss the Schwarzschild point-mass and extended-mass solutions of the Einstein Field Equations, concluding that many of the features traditionally associated with black hole theory are absurd and incorrect. The picture of a point singularity surrounded by a surface singularity at the Schwarzschild radius does not hold water. As an afterthought, we suggest how to solve the Kerr problem (rotating black hole): by numerical methods/machine computation.
