How Our Jugend forscht Project Turned Into a New Test of Einstein’s Theory
On February 25th we presented our project at the regional Jugend forscht competition. Our topic was theoretical physics, which is already unusual in a competition where many projects are experimental or technical. We worked on a question related to black … Continue reading
We are presenting KTC on Jugend Forscht 2026
As mentioned in our previous updates, we are thrilled to announce that tomorrow marks the grand unveiling of our Kerr Trisector Closure. After months of dedicated development and meticulous writing, we are filled with satisfaction and readiness to embark on … Continue reading
A Consistency Test for Kerr Black Holes via Orbital Motion, Ringdown, and Imaging
Kerr Trisector Closure (KTC) is a consistency test for the Kerr hypothesis that tries to stay honest about what is actually being inferred from data. The guiding principle is simple: if the exterior spacetime of an astrophysical, stationary, uncharged black … Continue reading

Overdetermined parameter interference in physics
In many areas of physics, a system is described by a small number of fundamental parameters, while the available observations greatly exceed this number. When this occurs, the problem of parameter inference becomes overdetermined. Rather than being a drawback, this … Continue reading

The Kerr Trisector Closure: A project on internal consistency tests of General Relativity
General Relativity describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime. Mass and energy determine this curvature, and physical phenomena such as orbital motion, gravitational radiation, and the propagation of light are governed by the resulting geometry. In this framework gravity is … Continue reading
