| Apr 11, 2013 at 21:01 | comment | added | Dilaton | @user1504 yeah, you are probably right. Maybe I'll try to formulate a follow up question but I have to think about it to not produce too much confused fluff, or Lumo (if he sees it) and probably others will give me (rightly so) a nice hairdryer treatmet because I should know better ... :-D | |
| Apr 11, 2013 at 19:59 | comment | added | user1504 | @Dilaton Personally, I think that's a different question (and a level of technical detail that seems inappropriate for the question asked above). In any case, you're more likely to get an answer if you ask everyone in a new question, than if you only ask me here. | |
| Apr 11, 2013 at 19:32 | comment | added | Dilaton | Hi 1504 ;-), if you could elaborate a bit about the relationship between the interior and the exterior I would like your answer even more than I already do ... I think this is at the heart of the constructive part of the question and would nicely clarify it. | |
| Apr 11, 2013 at 12:22 | comment | added | user1504 | @AndrewPalfreyman: The existence of event horizons is an untested prediction of GR. Probably true, but we won't know until we've actually tried dropping a flashlight past where we think an event horizon is. | |
| Apr 11, 2013 at 11:58 | comment | added | Bakuriu | @LubošMotl AFAIK we already proved that there exist undecidable statements in most branches of mathematics, why shouldn't there be undecidable physical questions? | |
| Apr 11, 2013 at 11:06 | comment | added | Andrew Palfreyman | As I mentioned in my original question, perhaps we already inhabit such an interior. | |
| Apr 11, 2013 at 6:41 | comment | added | Luboš Motl | Who says that the physics community will remain "back here"? I can throw the Earth including all of the communities into a black hole – whether or not such an experiment is legal. Nature surely has prepared an answer to what the people will feel and a good theory of physics must be able to answer that, too. | |
| Apr 11, 2013 at 5:07 | comment | added | Andrew Palfreyman | But isn't that the point? - that, although you can indeed dive in and do some experiments, there's no way you can tell the physics community back here anything about it. | |
