Time continues as you continue past the event horizon. The myth that you can't reach the event horizon is an artifact of poor coordinate choices. The length contraction argument is also invalid.
Relativity cannot calculate anything "inside" a black hole because that's the regime where that particular theory breaks down. This is a feature of physics.
- ars 18y agoThe time continues for the item falling, but for the rest of the universe it appears to take an infinite amount of time. It means that the math works, but the actual universe would never have anything fall in a black hole since it can never actually get there. Why is the length contraction argument invalid? Just saying it's "invalid" doesn't help me much. "Relativity cannot calculate anything "inside" a black hole because that's the regime where that particular theory breaks down. This is a feature of physics." I said that didn't I? That was my point - that black holes break a theory, and there are no other theories to replace it. So not having black holes in the first place would help. When you say feature do you mean "benefit" or "fact"? Because if you mean benefit I don't see how that is. Please don't forget my original point: that if loop quantum gravity makes black holes impossible that is a plus for that theory. I'm not arguing about whether or not black holes exist, or if their math works.
