B Can Black Holes Really Allow Time Travel and Survival Beyond the Event Horizon?

When somebody crosses the horizon of a black hole, the person would have the privilege to travel backwards in time (as shown in the movie 'Interstellar'). What are the possiblities of such a person to even survive after getting in a black hole, and how does he even able to travel in the past. Time travel in the future can definitely be considered due to relativity. Relativity also shows how can time be reversed, but how does a black hole cause time to be reversed? Can somebody explain me please?

No, they wouldn't. Movies are not good references for actual science.

It does? Please give a reference.

It doesn't.
 
Assuming that the radiation environment doesn't fry you, you can survive crossing the event horizon of a sufficiently massive black hole. It's the tidal gravity that rips you apart, and that gets weaker for a larger hole. However, after that, all paths lead to the singularity and you will be shredded at some point.
 

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...
