Re: Uh Oh, Discrepancy Alert



At the event horizon, c = 0, thus m=0, E=0.

Ask me, I've been there <G>

But you are well outside <G>.

Cliff:

Lightspeed in a vacuum has not been observed to change by a
gravitational field.

It seems to be the accepted perspective in the physics community.

It can slow down in gravitational fields.

Sure, and light can slow down to 38 MPH going through a Bose-Einstein
condensate... BUT light traveling through MATTER wasn't the point, I
clearly stated "Lightspeed in a *VACUUM* (which is considered a
universal constant), has not been observed to change by a gravitational
field."

What's peculiar, is that you didn't challenge Ivan's comment that c=0
at the event horizon, which is not correct.
Feel free to comment yourself <G>.

Light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second in a vacuum,
theoretically inside a black hole as well as out. The PATH of the light
may be so strongly curved by spacetime curvature as a result of the
intense gravitational field of a black hole as to eliminate its ability
to escape, but the velocity supposedly remains the same according to
General Relativity, (our current "Best Guess" at to how the macro
universe works).



Even worse news - light can go backwards!!! 8-)

The nameless is the boundary of Heaven and Earth.
The named is the mother of creation.
Freed from desire, you can see the hidden mystery.
By having desire, you can only see what is visibly real.
Yet mystery and reality
emerge from the same source.
This source is called darkness.
