Spaghettification inside a spherically symmetric black hole

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the vectors for time and radius that describe the space-like 4-acceleration of an observer falling into a spherically symmetric black hole. The previously established equations are dt/dτ = (1-2m/r)⁻¹ and dr/dτ = -(2m/r)¹/2. The user seeks to differentiate these equations with respect to real time τ to obtain the necessary vectors for 4-acceleration. This inquiry highlights the complexities involved in general relativity and the mathematical challenges of black hole physics.

I need to find the vectors for time and radius that describe a space-like 4-acceleration of an observer falling radially into a spherically-symmetric black hole. Previous to this question, the values of the real time derivatives for time and radius were derived to be:
dt/dτ = (1-2m/r)-1

and

dr/dτ = -(2m/r)1/2

In order to form the vectors needed for 4 acceleration, is it possible to differentiate these equations with respect to τ(real time) again? I am stumped!
