Is only GR enough for proved the event horizon

I do a little project about photon at the event horizon. I use GR to proved that anything in the event horizon can't escape from black hole, but a Prof. say that I must use string theory.But I did't accept with him.So, if someone know about it.Please Help me :cry: .

(I have to tell you that I'm thai people so my english may terrible.Please Forgive me for that.And if someone already ask this question, I'm sorry for ask it again.But I didn't find it anywhere in the forum)

Why does he say you have to use string theory?

Are you taking a string theory course?

Is he a string theory professor?

For what purpose are you working on this problem? For some purposes just getting the answer would be enough, but for other purposes, like learning to do string physics, you would have to use a particular method.

ADDED: Here is a set of introductory lecture note on black holes and string theory. http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/9901/9901050.pdf . I found it by searching on the four words photon string black hole with google scholar.

The existence and description of black holes have been around since before string theory existed. In no way does one have to use string theory to prove anything in relativity.

You can use string theory to 'prove' just about anything. I consider it an exercise in futility.
 
Thank you everyone for your answer.I'll do more research.
My project is just a high school project and I didn't learn any of string in class. I just want to know how GR tell us that it's not have anything that can escape from black hole.
 

Thread 'A sufficient condition for integrability of equation ##\nabla g=0##'

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...

Thread 'Relativator (Circular Slide-Rule): Simulated with Desmos - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. The Relativator was sold by (as printed) Atomic Laboratories, Inc. 3086 Claremont Ave, Berkeley 5, California , which seems to be a division of Cenco Instruments (Central Scientific Company)...
