I Escape from Two Black Holes? Solve the Mystery!

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the theoretical scenario of escaping from the event horizon of a black hole (BH1) by positioning oneself between it and a second black hole (BH2). Participants argue that once inside the event horizon of BH1, escape is impossible, as the gravitational pull is too strong. The notion of creating a second black hole to counteract the first is dismissed, as black holes cannot simply be conjured into existence. The conversation highlights the complexities of black hole physics, particularly regarding event horizons and merging black holes. Ultimately, the consensus is that once trapped, there is no escape from a black hole's event horizon.

Hello everyone,

Imagine the following situation:
  • You are inside the events horizon of a static black hole (called BH1)
    • Now, due to the bended space-time, your future points to be inside the event horizon until eternity (You will never be outside)
  • Now, a second static black hole (BH2), similar to BH1 "appears" (for whatever reason) in the nearby, outside the events horizon of BH1, and simetrycally positioned for me, comparing to BH1 center, So:
  • BH2 ----- Me ----- BH1
    • My question is: Is there a way that BH2 can bend space time in the opposite direction than BH1, in a manner that both effects are cancelled, or reduced in a manner that now I am outside the events horizon of any of the black holes? and now i could come back home safely
In other words, If I am symetrically positioned between 2 black holes (but in a manner that if one of them was not there, i would be inside the events horizon of the other one), can I escape from them?

Thanks in advance for your support witht this oneAerodyn

No. Once you are in an event horizon you are stuck there, no exceptions.

You cannot just "poof" a black hole into existence. You can "collapse" a black hole into existence if you have enough stress-energy in a sufficiently compact region. It appears that having accidentally stepped into the first black hole, you have also fallen into a collapsing dust cloud as that cloud has formed an event horizon and as that event horizon has swept past and engulfed you.

Possibly your eyebrows have been singed in the process. It can get crowded on an accretion disc.

In any case, you are now inside the newly merged single black hole.

Moderator's note: Spin-off from another thread due to topic change. In the second link referenced, there is a claim about a physical interpretation of frame field. Consider a family of observers whose worldlines fill a region of spacetime. Each of them carries a clock and a set of mutually orthogonal rulers. Each observer points in the (timelike) direction defined by its worldline's tangent at any given event along it. What about the rulers each of them carries ? My interpretation: each...
