    B Black Hole Energy Conversion - How Does It Work?

    I did not expect that the values of 6% and 42% would prevent the answering of my question. I thought I was being careful saying "several discussions suggesting" concerning the figures meaning that I neither confirmed nor denied they were true or false. However since you asked me to provide where...

    B Black Hole Energy Conversion - How Does It Work?

    If you search on-line for "efficiency of a black hole" you will get several discussions suggesting that the efficiencies of converting mass to energy are from 6% for non-rotating black holes to 42% for the fastest rotating black holes. I would like to know exactly how black holes convert some of...

    So what you are trying to tell me is that none of you could write a book telling people like me what the heck you are talking about. My attempt at using this forum is not helping me so I will be deleting my account if I can. If I can't then you won't be hearing from me again.

    You were the one who easily went through the event horizon as if nothing special happens there. I said to use a second at the event horizon as you said " AT the horizon, time just goes on ticking at one second per second." I wanted you to tell me how much time expires far from the black hole...

    For that one second to tick at the event horizon, how much time will have expired far from the black hole? When I read books without math I assume the author has done the math or knows the math is correct for the statements he/she makes. For example in Stephen Hawking's book "A brief History...

    Complaint Editing/Reply help -- How to cancel a draft?

    [Mentors’ note: This post about editing and replying was split from a discussion in the technical forums] I am new to this forum and can't figure out how to delete this reply after it is opened and before it is posted. What I tried to say wasn't coming out correctly so I wanted more time to...

    Are you trying to tell me that time dilation does not cause differential aging or that differential aging is an illusion that does not occur or that I'm using the wrong wording in my discussion about differential aging?

    What APPEARS to happen is very different than what actually happens according to the real world. Here is a thought experiment. There are two clocks far from a black hole that show the same time. One clock is lowered close to the event horizon of the black hole and the other stays far from the...

    How did you find PF?: duckduckGo search. My math is very weak and I don't like explanations done using math. I read books with very little math. I try to use reason based on what I've read. My understanding is time slows down in gravity and it will actually stop at the event horizon (see...
