Students beware
I had been making a half-hearted attempt to monitor this article (which has been in very bad shape during my entire year as a Wikipedian), but I am leaving the WP and am now abandoning this article to its fate.
Good luck to all students in your search for information, regardless!---CH 02:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Sad situation:
It is a pity that [CH] abandons the project. I publish in numerical relativity and therefore cannot undertake such edits as I will have to cite my own work which I find unethical/uncomfortable. Rather than thrashing an editor, why dont you help him update it.? It is easier to complain than actually do the work, right? I think CH did a great job but just need to get in contact with the complainers and others to get the article to the cutting edge.
- I don't understand what you mean; why you cannot avoid citing you own work? If you really cannot, that means your work is necessary and that other people would cite them too anyway. Temur (talk) 04:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Rewrite in Progress
I will attempt to add some more detail to this article in time. In the meanwhile I removed the lion's share of the computational difficulties for a number of reasons: 1) they implied nonexistence of compact coordinates; 2) they seemed to imply that non-linear PDE's are more challenging to solve numerically than ``analytically, contradicting the supposed reason for using numerical methods; 3) states that roundoff error of floating point precision makes numerical approximation methods inconsistent with the Einstein equations seemingly ignoring weak formulations which do not discretise the PDE's.
I added some sections which refer to other active areas of research, since the binary black hole isn't the only thing researched, and certainly numerical relativity doesn't just look at dynamical spacetimes. I made a methodology section and merged and expanded the elliptic equations section into it.
Although the 3+1 decomposition is really only of interest to numerical relativity, I am not so sure this article should be it's home. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atonita (talk • contribs) 17:13, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
