Geocache Description:


Karl Schwarzschild (October 9, 1873 – May 11, 1916) was a German physicist and astronomer.


Schwarzschild provided the first exact solution to the Einstein field equations of general relativity, for the limited case of a single spherical non-rotating mass, which he accomplished in 1915, the same year that Einstein first introduced general relativity. The Schwarzschild solution, which makes use of Schwarzschild coordinates and the Schwarzschild metric, leads to a derivation of the Schwarzschild radius, which is the size of the event horizon of a non-rotating black hole.
 

To find the cache, solve the problem below to find the average density of a non-rotating black hole.

Your answer will be in the form ABCDEFG.HIJ to three decimal places

The cache can be found at: N50 (F+A) D . (E+B) (H+I) J W004 (F-A) (A+B) . C (C-G) (H-A-B)
