When it comes to getting closer to the Schwarzschild radius, how is discrete a limit?
From Keeton (2014) in Principles of Astrophysics: Using Gravity and Stellar Physics to Explore the Cosmos, Gravitational time dilation near a large, slowly rotating, nearly spherical body, such as the ...

Is it possible that the mass of a black hole is located at the event horizon?
Due to gravitational time dilation, an object falling into a black hole appears to slow down as it approaches the horizon, never actually reaching it. If it were to somehow enter the event horizon, ...

Time dilatation of a free falling observer [duplicate]
I have two questions about time dilation near a black hole.
(I question) The relation $d\tau^2 = (1-\frac{r_s}{r}) dt^2$ between the proper time $d\tau$ of an observer near a B.H. and the time dt ...

Does infinite time dilation increase a photons energy to collapse to a black hole, and does it do the same for matter?
As I understand the mass of an object doesn't increase in a gravitational field according to general relativity. It just follows a geodesic, its worldline.
Now imagine a small marble falling straight ...

How would time dilation near a rotating black hole differ to a non-rotating black hole?
Suppose that we have a non-rotating black hole with mass $M$. We know that the time dilation $\Delta t'$ at a distance $r$ to the center of the black hole is given by $\Delta t' = \Delta t \sqrt{1 - \...

Time dilation for different observer in black hole metric
If I have a 2d Schwarzschild metric
$$
dS^2 = -(1-\frac{r_s}{r})dt^2 + \frac{dr^2}{1-\frac{r_s}{r}}
$$
I want to find the relation between the time of an asymptotic observer $t$ and the proper time of ...

Photon speed for an observer at the photon sphere [closed]
I am asked to compute the orbital period of a photon, in the Scwarzschild spacetime, at the photon sphere for an observer at the same radius, $r^\star=3M$. I have computed the result, $\Delta T=6\pi M$...

What are the effects on a stationary observer at a specific distance from a Kerr Black Hole?
A Kerr Black Hole (BH) is a spinning BH. There is an Event Horizon (EH) which is
$$r_H^\pm =\frac{r_{S} \pm \sqrt{r_{S}^2 - 4a^2}}{2},$$
where $a = \frac{J}{Mc}$ and $r_{S}$ is the Schwarzschild ...

Is it possible for things to fall past the event horizon? [duplicate]
Everything I can find says that time dilation approaches infinity at the event horizon of a black hole. Black holes evaporate over a finite amount of time. Wouldn't this imply that somebody falling ...

Effects of acceleration and gravity on proper time
Let's consider the effects of gravity and acceleration on proper time of an observer (yes, I want to know how the equivalence principle works).
First situation: a spaceship with rocket engine stays ...

When two neutron stars collide to form a black hole, for how long will last the emitted signal from the very vicinity of the new formed event horizon?
When two neutron stars collide they may form a black hole which is not a supermassive black hole but it should provoke that outside its newly formed event horizon photons are emitted as a consequence ...

Light Travel Delay in Kerr Render Engine
me and a friend are working on a render engine which can visualise Kerr Black Holes with a volumetric accretion disk and astrophysical jet. So far, this is what we got;
As you can see, we have the ...

How would a clock with hands behave if half of it is outside a black hole and half inside? [closed]
I am thinking of a clock moving close to the speed of light at a tangent to the event horizon so it doesn't fall in instantly Would the time like spacetime inside the black hole be reflected in the ...

How do we know the assumptions of the Schwarzschild solution are valid?
The Wikipedia article on the derivation of the Schwarzschild solution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivation_of_the_Schwarzschild_solution) lists 4 assumptions. The second of which is:
A static ...

Describe a nuclear bomb near a black hole relative to a bomb in open space, due to $E=mc^2$
The energy of a nuclear bomb is described by $E=mc^2$. Near a black hole we have tremendous time dilation, so the rate of time and the speed of light is slower relative to open space. To an outside ...
