Thanks PAllen, I assumed this was the case. So basically I mixed a quantum effect with a purely classical model of black holes. I guess I will have to wait for a complete quantum theory of gravity.

But shouldn't both reference frames be equally valid?

As I currently understand it from the point of view of an observer falling into a black hole it takes a finite time to cross the event horizon and reach the singularity. From the point of view of a far away observer the person falling into the black hole never actually crosses the event horizon...

Thanks for the reply. I am pretty sure I understand the basic definition of a path. Where I am running into trouble is I thought that the ambient coordinates consist of s coordinates and the local coordinates consist of n coordinates where s = n +1. Basically the manifold is embedded into a...

I am currently going through some online notes on differential geometry and general relativity. So far I have been following pretty well until I got to 3.4 cont'd letter (e) of http://people.hofstra.edu/Stefan_Waner/diff_geom/Sec3.html" document and the definition directly after. My first...

Homework Statement A hollow cylinder of length L has inner radius, r1, outer radius, r2 , and thermal conductivity, k. It is in dynamic thermal equilibrium, with its interior held at temperature T1 and its exterior at a different temperature, T2. What is the radial temperature dependence, T(r)...
