How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T17872296 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Reissner–Nordström metric
The Reissner–Nordström metric is an exact solution in general relativity describing the spacetime geometry outside a static, spherically symmetric, electrically charged black hole.
-
D.
Gödel metric
The Gödel metric is a solution to Einstein's field equations that describes a rotating universe allowing for closed timelike curves and thus the theoretical possibility of time travel.
