Ya I guess I am a bit but hope we can work through it

However if you agree with my other statement that

Both the clocks*at the center and at an infinite distance would slow to a complete stop relative to the surface of a mass as it collapsed through its event horizon because relativity tells us that the differential gravitational forces they would experience at those points in space would be infinite.

Then the arguments I have presented are still valid. Could you please elaborate on any logical inconsistency which may invalidate them. Because if they are logically consistent within the confines of relativity then the assumption made by physicist that an event horizon is form when a star collapse is invalid.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
