After the so-called GWs detection, today I heard the observation of a supermassive BH in the centre of the giant elliptical galaxy M87.
As usual, an international team published an article “First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. I. The Shadow of the Supermassive Black Hole” (The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 875:L1 (17pp), 2019 April 10) in which they reported the observation of the alleged supermassive BH.
Incredible but true, in their article, the authors mentioned Schwarzschild's original paper(1916)! However, the concept of BH cannot be deduced from Schwarzschild's original solution.
The genuine scientists have a duty to protect the ‘original Schwarzschild's solution’ as a legacy for the scientific community. The original Schwarzschild's solution obtained in 1915 and published in 1916 [1]:
ds2 = (1 ‒ α/R)dt2 ‒ (1 ‒ α/R)‒1 dR2 ‒ R2 (dθ2 + sin2θdφ2), R ≡ R(r) = (r3 + α3)1/3, 0 < r < ∞.
As we can remark more clearly there is only one singularity in Schwarzschild’s solution, at r = 0, to which his solution is constructed. Therefore, contrary to the usual claims made by the so-called GR-experts and reported in many textbooks and peer-reviewed articles, Schwarzschild did not pronounce a single word about the bizarre object that is called a black hole; he did not allege the so-called ‘Schwarzschild radius’; he did not claim that there is an ‘event horizon’ (by any other name); and his solution clearly forbids the black hole because when Schwarzschild’s r = 0, his R = α, and so there is no possibility for his R to be less than α. All this can be easily verified by simply reading Schwarzschild’s original paper [1].
Thus, the expression: ds2 = (1 ‒ 2Gm/c2r)dt2 ‒ (1 ‒ 2Gm/c2r)‒1 dr2 ‒ r2 (dθ2 + sin2θdφ2),
was and is still wrongly attributed to Schwarzschild in which it is asserted by inspection that r can go down to zero in some way, producing an infinitely dense point-mass singularity there, with an event horizon at the 'Schwarzschild radius' at r = 2Gm/c2: it is the birth of a black hole. Compare this metric with that really obtained by Schwarzschild [1].
Finally, GWs and BHs cannot be predicted in the context and formalism of GRT for multiple reasons.
