The Oppenheimer–Snyder model is a solution to Einstein's general relativity that describes the gravitational collapse of a homogeneous dust sphere. It was first introduced by physicists J. Robert Oppenheimer and Hartland Snyder in a landmark paper published in 1939. This model is significant in theoretical physics as it lays the groundwork for understanding black holes and gravitational collapse.
