| Jul 19, 2022 at 20:18 | comment | added | James K | @chepner That's not right, since the sun would have a schwatzchld radius of about 3km, anyway the barycentre of the solar system is often outside the sun's photosphere, | |

Title missing "Way"

| Jul 18, 2022 at 19:34 | comment | added | paul garrett | Actually, it occurs to me to wonder whether "barycenter" works well in a situation where relativistic considerations are significant. E.g., if a naive computation/conception says the barycenter is "inside a black hole", aren't there problems with the geometry? | |
