Q: Can a Kerr black hole be viewed as a Schwarzschild black hole by changing the frame of reference?

LePtCIn a local universe empty of any matter except a Kerr black hole and an observer, that observer is spinning at the same rate as the black hole and observes it from a great distance directly above its north pole. Will he deem it to be a Schwarzschild black hole? If the observer is spinning at a di...

Q: Why are there no known white dwarfs between 1.35 to 1.44 solar masses?

blademan9999The Chandrasekhar limit for white dwarfs is 1.44 Solar masses, however the heaveist known white dwarf is only 1.35 solar masses. https://earthsky.org/space/smallest-most-massive-white-dwarf/ What's the cause of this gap in mass?
