If the escape velocity for a body that is very close to a BH is near $c$ but not $c$ can it move away a little bit before it falls inside the BH?
The escape velocity from a common gravtational attractor means that a body lounched away from the attractor will never turn back. But in the case of a BH at the event horizon this escape velocity is $...

Are there any good references on the "gravitational" curvature of spacetime of a moving mass being distorted due to special relativity?
In this Wikipedia paragraph suggesting an explanation for the phenomenon of inertia, it claims:
Another physicist, Vern Smalley, has derived the Lorentz transformation for mass by assuming that the ...
