Reading this thread is very
intersting.
I have a few questions of Frank or anyone
else who is versed in this area of space.
They really don't have anything to do with
"navigation" per say but since we're on the subject of space......why not
ask?
1. Explain the Schwartzchild Radius and the
Event Horizon of a black hole.
a. Are they the same thing?
2. I've read, with no understanding, that
mass would be "elongated" when passing trough or close to a boundry such
as a black hole or any massive gravitational field in space.
b. Is this theory correct or did I
misunderstand what was written?
c. Do photons have "mass" and would they be
physically "stretched" in this situation?
3. I read an Isaac Azimov book years ago
when he asks: "Of the 3 basic forces of the universe which 1 is the
most over whelming or most powerfull?" Electro-mechanical, Nuclear, Gravitation.
I believe he explained Nuclear was the
most overwhelming of forces.
d. If the above is correct how could any
mass be "elongated" ?
Thanks for indulging me on this. It's just
such an interesting topic you guys have brought up.
