  remark =       "This paper attempts to prove the impossibility of
                 forming black holes. See the discussion in
                 \cite[page~346]{Bartusiak:2006:AUD} and
                 \cite[page~80]{Bernstein:1996:RFB}.

                 The last page of Einstein's article summarizes the
                 results of his computations:\par

                 ``The essential result of this investigation is a clear
                 understanding as to why the `Schwarzschild
                 singularities' do not exist in physical reality.
                 Although the theory given here treats only clusters
                 whose particles move along circular paths it does not
                 seem to be subject to reasonable doubt that more
                 general cases will have analogous results. The
                 `Schwarzschild singularity' does not appear for the
                 reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrarily.
                 And this is due to the fact that otherwise the
                 constituting particles would reach the velocity of
                 light.\par

                 This investigation arose out of discussions the author
                 conducted with Professor H. P. Robertson and with Drs.
                 V. Bargmann and P. Bergmann on the mathematical and
                 physical significance of the Schwarzschild singularity.
                 The problem quite naturally leads to the question,
                 answered by this paper in the negative, as to whether
                 physical models are capable of exhibiting such a
                 singularity.''",
