Does Money Have Inertia When Orbiting a Black Hole?

I'm orbiting a black hole at 99.999999 percent of the speed of light, and then I turn on my headlights. Then I suddenly realize that money has inertia - at least that's what my stock market broker is saying. How fast does the gravity of this thought travel? Does the speed of my travel increase the gravity of this realization?

Also, how dizzy does the constant whirling around make me before the black hole evaporates?

Yes.
 
I'm currently eating mini black holes from a bag using a spoon.
Its quite healthy, actually.


Oh yeah, yesterday I rigged a bicycle so that it is now propelled by a reactionless drive.


Tomorrow I was the first person to ever detect the tachyon.
 
.readapting trouble Having .backwards running is time where one visited I. realities alternative to gateway a found I.
 
No!

Happy 1st of yesterday.

Oh and thought travels faster than light it's just our money can never catch up with it.
 

Thread 'I don't see how a black hole's event horizon can be crossed'

OK, so this has bugged me for a while about the equivalence principle and the black hole information paradox. If black holes "evaporate" via Hawking radiation, then they cannot exist forever. So, from my external perspective, watching the person fall in, they slow down, freeze, and redshift to "nothing," but never cross the event horizon. Does the equivalence principle say my perspective is valid? If it does, is it possible that that person really never crossed the event horizon? The...

Thread 'Is the variation of the metric ##\delta g_{\mu\nu}## a tensor?'

From $$0 = \delta(g^{\alpha\mu}g_{\mu\nu}) = g^{\alpha\mu} \delta g_{\mu\nu} + g_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\alpha\mu}$$ we have $$g^{\alpha\mu} \delta g_{\mu\nu} = -g_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\alpha\mu} \,\, . $$ Multiply both sides by ##g_{\alpha\beta}## to get $$\delta g_{\beta\nu} = -g_{\alpha\beta} g_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\alpha\mu} \qquad(*)$$ (This is Dirac's eq. (26.9) in "GTR".) On the other hand, the variation ##\delta g^{\alpha\mu} = \bar{g}^{\alpha\mu} - g^{\alpha\mu}## should be a tensor...

Thread 'Synchronizing clocks in an inertial frame if light is anisotropic'

ASSUMPTIONS 1. Two identical clocks A and B in the same inertial frame are stationary relative to each other a fixed distance L apart. Time passes at the same rate for both. 2. Both clocks are able to send/receive light signals and to write/read the send/receive times into signals. 3. The speed of light is anisotropic. METHOD 1. At time t[A1] and time t[B1], clock A sends a light signal to clock B. The clock B time is unknown to A. 2. Clock B receives the signal from A at time t[B2] and...
