From Schwarzschild to Newton

Abstract

The only exact solution of the equations of General Relativity Theory of recognized practical applicability was obtained by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916. In the limit of weak field it reduces to Newton's gravitational law. I present some aspects of Schwarzschild's gravitation and show its reduction to the classical law of gravitation.

Keywords:
General Relativity Theory; Schwarzschild's solution; Newton's gravitation
