Problems with the German short description

[edit]

The German “short description” or “definition” presented here contradicts the definition of the term and is therefore highly problematic. Instead, it should read: “extremely compact object with a strong gravitational field characterized by an event horizon that delimits a region of spacetime and prevents information or matter from the region less than the horizon radius from reaching an external observer”. In German: “extrem kompaktes Objekt mit einem starken Gravitationsfeld, das durch einen Ereignishorizont gekennzeichnet ist, welcher einen Bereich der Raumzeit abgrenzt und verhindert, dass Informationen oder Materie aus der Region kleiner des Horizontradius zu einem äußeren Beobachter gelangen können” (Def. Handbook of Gravitational Wave Astronomy, 2022). Teutschmann (talk) 16:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
