Neil singing about it.

It's hard to explain to kiddos that the concept was new. Not updated hardware/OS, better speeds, bigger screen. New types of machine.

I'm with you on that, but this was only a conversation about hypothetical possibilities on something we don't understand, not something I've got my heart set on.

Hmm...looks like I pissed off a s1ngularity

At no point did I say I thought anyone fully understood any of these things

At a guess, I think we know most abt the centre of the Earth, yes weather and the brain are too complex...your point being?

Time would shear it? As you pass the EH there's a significant change, then?

It's why I posted about Black Holes...

Uh...I was assuming we're fairly confident of what happens inside the sun...

Thanks man...you have mentioned this once or twice, I think. Dunno why you're still posting it, really...

That reply sounds like 'we don't know' what stresses might apply here

My original post specified another large, non-BH body in orbit

No, if this still needs an answer

Check out cardamoms Post above mine...he said crossing the event horizon (of a very large BH) would be unnoticeable

But there would be no stresses acting on it at the event horizon...or only 'unnoticeable ones' ...

Lol..yeah, he MADE us, you know...no, I meant I don't think relativity EXPLAINS black holes very well/at all

I think I would take issue with the word 'explained'...more like 'unleashed'...but thank you.

Right, thank you...everyone thought I was barmy. Now, what would happen in your scenario if you were to try to RETRACT said cable?

If this were true...hmmm...then ALL black holes would have the same mass?

Presumably the event horizon would drag everything with it as it 'moved' is the pessimistic answer everyone fucking loves

...ie, a space elevator on Earth would not need to travel at escape velocity, right?

...and of course, this is impossible. But this is from the POV of a rocket or similar, trying to escape the EH from inside, not something with outside connections.

See...maybe I am confused, but the event horizon itself is not anything physical, just an arbitary boundary where inside it requires an escape velocity faster than light...

Yes! Now you're talking...not the infinite energy bit, tho...why?

Ah, guilty as charged
