Abstract
The spherically symmetric vacuum solution to the Einstein field equation (Schwarzschild-Droste solution) is derived and associated physical phenomena derived and explained. It is shown how to obtain the Christoffel symbols by the Euler-Lagrange method, and hence the metric for the general spherically symmetric vacuum. Equations for general orbits are presented, and their solution for radial motion and for circular motion. Geodetic (de Sitter) precession is calculated exactly for circular orbits. The null geodesics (photon worldlines) are obtained, and the gravitational redshift. Emission from an accretion disc is calculated.
