On page 100, you introduce the constant 28.4, assumably coming from 2*pi*G, along with unit change. I'm trying to reproduce this, but cannot arrive at 28.4. Is it possible for you to help us complete this step? Thank you for any guidance you can provide ☺️🙏

Hi @katerhumpel! I'm a high school physics teacher and one of my students is working on an assignment which aims to reproduce academic work for the purpose of understanding. She is currently working with your book "Planetologie extrasolarer Planeten" (see next Tweet)

@Lufthansa_DE Hallo! Ich bin jetzt schon seit über einer Stunde in der Warteschleife (Ihre österreichische Nummer [phone])... ist es möglich, dass diese Nummer von niemandem bedient wird?

Results to this poll are opposite of my expectation. I expected understanding of RT to correlate with *not* believing FTL was possible.
