Stated another way, is there any system small enough (yet not quantum mechanical) that would not have the same behavior described above? | |
| Oct 13, 2021 at 10:01 | comment | added | dllahr | Thank you! As a follow up, if the ship you describe is initially at rest with respect to the EH, 1.5 ft outside the EH, then goes into free fall, it will not be traveling particularly fast as the captain in the front crosses the EH. So when the captain sends the 1st message, it still takes 1000 ns to reach the engineer. The second message reaches the engineer when the engineer crosses the EH - which would be time >> 1000 ns as the ship is accelerating arbitrarily slowly (depending on size of BH). Is that correct? | |
