Shouldn't it be Einsten-Maxwell theory instead of Einstein field equations? Equivalently, the space is not empty (besides the black hole itself) as there is a non-trivial electric field.FMeul (talk)12:19, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When talking about the metric the constants are usually set to 1 for clarity, maybe a good idea to do that here? Also the r_Q seems unnecessary if in natural units. By the dr^2 comment would be better to put the metric component as g_00 ^-1 instead of 1/g_00Jamescook.106 (talk)13:02, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore would be a good idea to put the penrose diagram for this solution, and the section with the Einstein Field equations seems unnecessaryJamescook.106 (talk)13:03, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ShouldReissner–Nordström solution redirect here?— Precedingunsigned comment added by70.247.167.104 (talk)04:12, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And now it does. It used to be empty, so its a harmless redirect.67.198.37.16 (talk)11:07, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am blanking self-promotional spam that appears here, and also inBlack hole thermodynamics,Hawking radiation,Quantum gravity andReissner–Nordström metric. Since this affects four articles, please seeTalk:Black hole thermodynamics for discussion.67.198.37.16 (talk)03:18, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article claims multiple times that 2r_q>r_s black holes cannot exist since they would exhibit naked singularities. The reason why it is believed that they cannot exist in the real world is astrophysical (since we cannot imagine how an object could amass such a large charge). Yes the 2r_q>r_s solutions exhibit naked singularities, but those are not a reason for the existence/non-existence of this kind of black hole. I think someone is confusing the Cosmic Censorship Conjecture (Penrose), which is a mathematical conjecture about generic initial data sets and the formation of naked singularities, with proven facts about the real physical world...Andrew2314 (talk)16:52, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
