Idk how to create one myself, but I would really appreciate it if someone could make one! Not a requirement ofc, but including the shock singularity also would be good because that page doesn't have any images either.

Misner-Sharp mass

Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Seems that Misner-Sharp mass is a redlink and is also not mentioned anywhere in this article; and yet, as I recall, this is the the mass that is inflating. Is it not mentioned because this is not a very popular name for it? Some other reason? Some explanation of why the inflating thing deserves being called a mass and not something else would be nice to have. I thought the Hamilton-Avelino paper was quite nice, and worthy of a longer review. ~2026-15315-06 (talk) 05:59, 11 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

A page that knows where it met you.
