How does mass affect the curvature of spacetime inside a black hole?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on how mass influences the curvature of spacetime within a black hole. It is established that the mass that falls into a black hole continues to affect spacetime curvature, as the gravitational influence of this mass persists even after it crosses the event horizon. The key point is that the curvature created by mass outside the black hole remains, contributing to the overall gravitational field experienced inside the black hole.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity and its principles
  • Familiarity with black hole physics
  • Knowledge of spacetime curvature concepts
  • Basic grasp of gravitational theories
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of mass on spacetime curvature in general relativity
  • Explore the concept of event horizons and their effects on gravity
  • Study the relationship between mass and gravitational waves
  • Investigate the mathematical models used to describe black hole dynamics
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and students of theoretical physics interested in black hole mechanics and the effects of mass on spacetime.

How does gravity communicate from inside a black hole
How does mass determine the bending of space from inside a black hole?REPLY

Fixed that for ya'!

If your question is "if nothing gets out how does gravity get out?" it is an oversimplification but not completely wrong to say that gravity was caused by the matter as it was falling in.

As Van says, all the mass that is inside a Black Hole was once outside the black hole. There, it curved spacetime. That curvature does not go away.
