The White Wall, a Gravitational Mirror

We describe the exact solution of Einstein's equation corresponding to a static homogenous distribution of matter with plane symmetry lying below z = 0. We study the geodesics in it and we show that this simple space–time exhibits very curious properties. In particular, it has a repelling singu...

Sumario:We describe the exact solution of Einstein's equation corresponding to a static homogenous distribution of matter with plane symmetry lying below z = 0. We study the geodesics in it and we show that this simple space–time exhibits very curious properties. In particular, it has a repelling singular boundary and all geodesics bounce off it.
