The Schwarzschild radius of a black hole is that radial distance from the center of a sphere within which not even light can escape.
 
  It was first discovered mathematically by Schwarzschild in 1916 after Einstein published his general relativity theory. It can be calculated from a star's mass M as: R = 2GM/c2. Take the radius of both stars A and B as the Schwarzschild radius. If the mass of star A is twice as much as the mass of star B, the average density of star A, compared to star B will be A)
 
  the same.
  B)
 
  twice as much.
  C)
 
  half as much.
  D)
 
  four times as much.
  E)
 
  one-fourth as much.

Question 2

The reason the position of a particle cannot be specified with infinite precision is the
 
  A)
 
  coherence principle.
  B)
 
  exclusion principle.
  C)
 
  uncertainty principle.
  D)
 
  photoelectric effect.
  E)
 
  principle of relativity.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
