B Does the inertia of matter change in a black hole?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around whether the inertia of matter changes within a black hole. Participants express confusion over the phrasing of the question and seek clarification on its original context. There is an emphasis on providing accurate translations if the question was not posed in English. Additionally, the forum members remind each other that while they are willing to assist, they do not provide direct answers for homework assignments. The inquiry highlights the complexities of physics related to black holes and inertia.

Thread 'Venus and Jupiter Conjunction'

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
