[edit] Why is this article needed?

Can the creators/editors of this article please clarify?

The stub mentions general relativity, but there are already articles on

If the intent is to clarify how the word "dust" is used in classical gravitation with how that word is used in "astronomy", I think this can be clarified in the existing articles.

Depending on the answer to my query, I guess that it would be appropriate to merge this article with the existing articles and the remove this item from the disambiguation page.

  • Just reading over the articles, I can see how it might be merged with dust solution, but I really don't feel comfortable offering much advice here on general relativity. We should probably ask the folks at WikiProject Physics.--Pharos 16:03, 13 November 2005 (UTC)


Yup, merge with Dust solution. I didn't know that page was there when I created Dust (relativity). Maybe make a redirect.
