I thought I'd create a new thread rather than derail.
In https://www.physicsforums.com/threa...stars-become-black-holes.937452/#post-6143231 it was explained to me that gravitational waves do not escape the interior.
The reason I thought they did is that we have observed black hole ringdown, and that the ringdown was gravitational waves from the interior mass settling down.
If gravitational waves can't escape from the interior, what is the source/driver of the ringdown?
