Alice meets Bob! or: The association of infinity and finiteness within the Schwarzschild metric — •René Friedrich — Strasbourg

The Schwarzschild metric is the basic description of a gravitational field, but it is more than that: It provides us with some hints about the way how the universe is working. One main feature of the Schwarzschild metric is the association of finite and infinite time structures, and it includes even proposals for the solution of the so-called "information paradox" of black holes and the supposed "breakdown of general relativity" near singularities.
