comment Why can't you escape a black hole?
There are already several detailed explanations posted answering this question. If you want another one, surfaces of constant radius inside a black hole are spacelike, therefore to turn around you would need to travel faster than the speed of light, therefore you can't escape.

comment Why can't you escape a black hole?
There is no such point inside a black hole where you would need to travel at less than c to escape, so you're answer is still completely wrong. Once you enter a black hole, you can't even turn around, much less escape.

I'd like to downvote but don't want to lose points. Anyway, this answer is completely wrong.

Ah, ok I see, that was silly. The normal part will contribute positively to the norm of the vector, but the tangential part will make it overall negative.

comment Diving into a charged (Reissner-Nordstrom) Black hole
Yes, that helps, thanks. When you say you arrive in a new spacetime patch upon exiting the black hole, do you mean he is in a different universe, or just not where in spacetime he was before? For someone observing something leaving the black hole, is it still a black hole for him? or is it just a white hole, so that he can't get in? The diagram seems to suggest it is a different universe...will two people following a similar path necessarily end up in the same universe, or is this even possible to say?

comment Future light cones inside black hole
That's a pretty good answer, though I still don't see how you can see this from the Schwarzschild metric.

comment Future light cones inside black hole
I see, however I don't see why the coordinate that gets a negative sign in the metric necessarily implies you can only move in one direction in that coordinate. On the other hand, can't I apply the same reasoning as you did to the time coordinate to infer that inside a black hole you can freely travel back and forth in time?

Can you expand on this? I have a rough idea of what you mean, but am unsure.

comment Does gravitational redshift imply gravitation time dilation?
Yes I'm fine with that part, my question is with regards to time dilation.
