Example sentences

1

2

LTB is a contracting spacetime -- there simply is no expansion within the vacuole, mathematically.

3

Apparently it consists of a very large vacuole, surrounded by a thin layer of cytoplasm.

4

Each cluster can be represented by an eventual vacuole -- a hole in the cheese -- initially filled with gas and dust.

5

A digestive tract could be replaced by a vacuole.

6

The collapsing vacuoles are usually modelled like LemaƮtre-Tolman-Bondi with a thin shell boundary; this results in a vacuole that time-orientable and has fewer spacetime points in the future direction.

7

We can also study the flow of thin wispy stuff -- the CMB, but also radiation, neutrinos, and cosmic rays from distant galaxy clusters -- from the cheese into the vacuole.

8

10

11

(The typical problem is that something that does contain expansion, like a Kottler vacuole, evolves away from a mass-compensating comoving void, e.g., the hole grows much too fast or in strange ways that do not match any of the tens of millions of galaxy clusters in our sky).

Quote examples

1

We can study the flow of radiation out of the topmost LTB vacuole into the "cheese".

2

3

The baryons and other gas that remain within the "topmost" thin-shell pretty inevitably condenses into ever larger sets of black holes, which merge into ever larger black holes at the centres of each vacuole.

4

The asymptotic behaviour is because the dust crossing the junction into the Vaidya vacuole is (a) cosmologically redshifted within the "cheese" and (b) diluted by the metric expansion of the "cheese".
