How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T9730452 — 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.

On the Curvature of Space
"On the Curvature of Space" is a pioneering 1922 paper by Alexander Friedmann that introduced non-static, expanding-universe solutions to Einstein’s field equations, laying the theoretical foundation for modern cosmology.
-

Space, Time and Gravitation
"Space, Time and Gravitation" is a popular science book by Arthur Stanley Eddington that explains Einstein’s theory of general relativity and its implications for our understanding of the universe.

C.
Hawking–Penrose singularity theorems
The Hawking–Penrose singularity theorems are foundational results in general relativity that show, under broad physical conditions, spacetime must contain singularities such as those inside black holes or at the Big Bang.
-
D.
The Mathematical Theory of Black Holes
The Mathematical Theory of Black Holes is a landmark monograph that presents a rigorous, comprehensive treatment of the physics and mathematics underlying black hole solutions in general relativity.
-
E.
Timelike Infinity
Timelike Infinity is a hard science fiction novel by Stephen Baxter that explores time travel, cosmic engineering, and far-future human evolution within his Xeelee Sequence universe.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
