Perhaps my opening sentence was overstated.
The point remains, however, that the field of physics has embraced a non-relativistic expression for escape velocity which, in my humble opinion, has led to incorrect speculations such as the existence of black holes.
I assume that your calculation of the point of no escape at 8.87 X 10^6 km is based upon the fact that the non-relativistic calculation of escape velocity predicts that an object or particle will achieve the speed of light at such distance. The relativistic calculation, using the formula I...
Why is there an inherent presumption imbedded in the field of physics that gravitational force is exempt from the rules of relativity?
The presumption is based on the non-relativistic expression for escape velocity:
v=(2MG/r)^.5
Thus, with a very large mass or a very small radius...
