Re: Another dumb black hole question (charge and acceleration)

: Russell Wallace <russell.wallace.nospam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
: Does this mean the _inward_ force required to make a proton hover
: arbitrarily close to the event horizon of a maximally (positively)
: charged black hole is also unbounded?
:
: Or is it the case that if a proton starts off too near the event
: horizon, the net force becomes inward and it gets gobbled up after all?

It is probably a bad idea in such extreme situations to think of
the effects of gravity as a "force".
