Quotes About Schwarzschild

The Schwarzschild radius of the universe is the huge distance of 1.5 × 1027m (calculated from the mass of 1054kg) — a distance which is larger than the radius of the current observable universe. So the whole mass of the universe is contained within its Schwarzschild radius. This means that, for the universe as a whole, the repulsive effect becomes highly-significant. Gravity would act to expand the universe.

When a particle's wavelength became smaller than the Schwarzschild radius, the disciplines of gravitation and particle physics merged. The minimum mass where this occurred was scarcely a thousandth of a grain of sand. Still, for fundamental particle physics this was incredibly huge, a million million million times the weight of a uranium nucleus.
