Abstract: Abstract In Chap. 14 we showed that the exterior Schwarzschild solution of Einstein’s equation describes the gravitational field outside a static spherical mass with constant mass density. This solution has the peculiar characteristic that some components of the metric tensor became infinite at the Schwarzschild radius $$r_{s}=2m$$ and at $$r=0$$. The nature and meaning of this behavior was not quite understood at the time of its discovery (1916), although the bending of light and the redshift of clocks in a gravitational field were phenomena already acquired.
