Jeff Relf wrote: Hi Daryl McCullough, You said, " after the observer passes through the event horizon, his future light cone is pointed purely * inside * the event horizon. ". Is that true for the local observer, or just for an observer at an infinite altitude ? It's true for the local observer. The one outside never passed throughthe horizon. ( Is it true for Kruskal coordinates ? ) The coordinate system has nothing to do with it unless it ceases todescribe physics at the horizon because it's singular there where there's no real singularity. It's true in Kruskal coordinates and they are not singular at the event horizon. John Anderson |
