Thanks for all the replies. However there are a couple of points I'm stillWhat do you mean by the other side? If you mean the part of the event horizon
unsure on.
1. If an observer fell into a black hole, would it be possible for him to
miss the singularity and pass out the other side? Or perhaps go into orbit
around it, within the event horizon? Ignoring differential gravitational
forces of course.....
2. A nonrotating uncharged BH is a pretty idealised object. What are theI understand why they dismiss the problem. See my answer above. What little
effects of angular momentum and charge on its characteristics? Can anyone
recommend a good reference for this, the books and articles I've looked at
seem to dismiss it as a problem seemingly too difficult to compute to bother
with!
3. Dave Bowman's reply is very in-depth (thanks!). But how does it affectActually, as I understand it, if two BHs were to merge the new event horizon
the idea that if 2 BHs were to merge, the event horizon afterwards would
have an area equal to the sum of the two previous event horizons' areas?
All the recent discussion of GR has generated a question in my mind. CanI don't understand what you mean here. If one is to describe the "evolution
anyone direct me references regarding the 2-body problem in general
relativity, ie. the evolution of the metric and positions of 2 "small",
isolated masses?
