Does mass exist inside a black hole?

What is the relative velocity between say me, and some mass inside of a black hole?

To what degree of time dilation/length contraction does mass inside of a black hole experience?

Try reading wikipedia at BLACK HOLE

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole#Singularity


The mass inside, although not accessible to observers outside the event horizon, is infinitely compacted at the singularity inside according the classical general relativity. But this is not mass as we know it in everyday experience. Atoms, protons and electrons, for example, have been crushed to some unknown fundamental constitutents. And time and space are also mashed beyond recognition, perhaps to their fundamental constitutents.

There is not necessarily any motion between you and a black hole if you are a stationary outside observer; if you are falling in toward the black hole attracted by the gravity then of course there would be.

That is the final static condition. In the dynamical regime, a body crossing the black hole horizon will exist for some time "outside" the singularity.
 
According to the Wikipedia article on Black holes:
"At the center of a black hole lies the singularity, where matter is crushed to infinite density, the pull of gravity is infinitely strong, and spacetime has infinite curvature.[37] This means that a black hole's mass becomes entirely compressed into a region with zero volume.[38] This zero-volume, infinitely dense region at the center of a black hole is called a gravitational singularity." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_...quantum jitters" is appropriately considered?
 
that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle precludes a black hole singularity of infinite density.
Is it after assuming change in position and that in velocity0?
[m*delta(v)]delta(x)=>h/2 delta(v) and delta(x) are small enough that m->infinity

I started reading a National Geographic article related to the Big Bang. It starts these statements: Gazing up at the stars at night, it’s easy to imagine that space goes on forever. But cosmologists know that the universe actually has limits. First, their best models indicate that space and time had a beginning, a subatomic point called a singularity. This point of intense heat and density rapidly ballooned outward. My first reaction was that this is a layman's approximation to...
Thread 'Dirac's integral for the energy-momentum of the gravitational field'
See Dirac's brief treatment of the energy-momentum pseudo-tensor in the attached picture. Dirac is presumably integrating eq. (31.2) over the 4D "hypercylinder" defined by ##T_1 \le x^0 \le T_2## and ##\mathbf{|x|} \le R##, where ##R## is sufficiently large to include all the matter-energy fields in the system. Then \begin{align} 0 &= \int_V \left[ ({t_\mu}^\nu + T_\mu^\nu)\sqrt{-g}\, \right]_{,\nu} d^4 x = \int_{\partial V} ({t_\mu}^\nu + T_\mu^\nu)\sqrt{-g} \, dS_\nu \nonumber\\ &= \left(...
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...
