Event horizon edit
The article states "he is known for introducing the event horizon." But that article does not cite Rindler so a reference to the introduction of this term should be given. A reference noting his innovation would be better. The statement will be removed otherwise. — Rgdboer (talk) 23:40, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi Rgdboer. I have not edited the article, but I have heard this affirmed in personal conversation with Dr. Rindler. I will try to find an adequate reference, but my grasp of his body of work is tenuous, and it will take quite some time. Anarchic Fox. —Preceding undated comment added 08:15, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
The article in question appears to be Wolfgang Rindler, Visual Horizons in World Models, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 116, Issue 6, December 1956, Pages 662–677, https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/116.6.662 (linked to from a brief biography at https://www.utdallas.edu/news/faculty-staff/ut-dallas-remembers-founding-faculty-member-wolfgang-rindler/). I'm not convinced this really needs to be cited explicitly (it's fairly well-known), and in consequence I'm not sure how one would best phrase the citation. But I note it here in case anyone else has a clearer idea of how to include it. NormanGray (talk) 18:30, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
