In general relativity, the Eddington coordinates are given by

where

The advantage of this coordinate system is that it explicitly shows that the coordinate singularity in the Schwarzschild coordinates is precisely that!

It is named in honour of the British physicist Sir Arthur Eddington. If luminosity excee
