Re: Singularity Temperature



Any of the usual ways (thermometer, spectroscopy, thermocouple, RTD, etc.)
will work as well inside as outside the event horizon. For other than the
extreme situation, I don't see how the metric would affect, say, the
reading of a thermometer.

Describe the measurement that the captive inside the horizon would
make, remembering that space and time are being interchanged. It seems
to me that the local metric (alright, the curvature) is involved in every
measurement.
