I have some knowledge of calculus and differential equations, but what is it about his equations that jumped out? How did he see his equations and decide that this was a legitimate prediction rather than just some constructed “mathy” noise?
In: Mathematics
He didn’t.
Others (like Karl Schwarzschild) took Einstein’s theory of general relativity and its equations and realised there’s a solution that involves infinite deformation of space time, in particular if you put a lot of mass concentrated in a small volume, you get a region of space time where even light cannot escape.
