.Scott reacted to Ibix's post in the thread Undergrad Looking closely at the descent into a black hole with
Agree.
It shouldn't be. The arc length between two points at equal altitude is ##r\int_{\phi_0}^{\phi_1}\ d\phi##, as you can read off the... -
.Scott replied to the thread Undergrad Looking closely at the descent into a black hole.At a minimum, at A=1.5, I do not see anything in front of me except the black hole. Whether I see anything being pulled toward me is...

.Scott replied to the thread Undergrad Looking closely at the descent into a black hole.OK. Then what kind of measurement should he do. Does the dH really go to zero? Or will the altimeter really work correctly? At the...
