III-What will happen if an object falls inside a black hole?

Introduction to general relativity:


Einstein came with a first principle saying that if you were inside a box
with no window then you cant tell the difference between being in a out of
space and accelerating with an acceleration g, or being in the same box
on the surface of the earth stationary but under effect of g and; this is
called the principle of the equivalence
Position A

position B

g
g

ground

The second principal of Einstein says that light bends bents in


gravitational field , and Einsteins reasoning was this:
if we take the previous box but this time were going to shine a light from
its first side to its second and that clearly will take a very small time to
happen, if the box is accelerating under an acceleration g by the time it
gets half away across the box will be accelerated a little bit further so the
light will reach the second position

Light

Second sides of the box

First position

second position

By the time the light gets to the second side of the box in the second
position, the box will be accelerated still more and because the light is
going in a straight line it will reach the third position
First position

Second position

Third position

So if we look at the light it will appear that it went from the hight point
of the box to the down one in a curve way

And this is exactly what happens when you are accelerating through space
with acceleration g, since the principle of equivalent says there is no
difference between position A and B of the first paragraph then it should
be valid for this case too
This principle was proved during a solar eclipse, when the moon blots the
sun and we observe it from the earth, we notice a star just salty to the
right of our sun

But astronomers knew that the actual position of the star was behind the
sun and it shouldnt have been possible to see it and the only explanation
for it was that light from the star was being bent in the gravitational field
of the sun and then coming to us on earth giving the impressing of being
the observed location

The problem for Einstein was that Newtons low of gravitation wasnt able
to explain the bent of light so he came up with a completely different
approach for gravity, we can illustrate it by the next:
Lets suppose we have a trampoline (represents the space-time) and we
put a very small object C on it, it will make almost no effect on the
trampoline

Now lets suppose putting another object with a very big mass instead of
the first one, the trampoline will bent , this experience shows exactly what
a a curved space time is
But whats going to happen to that small object?
It will fall towards the massive body

Newton said that movement towards the big object was caused by the
gravitational attraction between the two masses, Einstein on the other
hand showed that the small object is moving along the shortest path in
curved space-time, So when the earth goes around the sun it means the
sun is so massive that it curves the space time and the earth is turning
around that curve

the formula describing this new perspective is the next:

1
8 G
R g R+ g =
T (1)
2
C

represents the dimensions of the space time ( x,y,z,t)

G is the gravitational constant


C is the speed of light
R

Ricci curvature tensor

metric tensor

R curvature scalar

cosmological constant
stress energy momention tensor

The point of this equation is that it balances two things; the left hand side
of it refers to curveting of space-time and the right hand side is to do with
mass and energy ,in short version it basecly says that mass tells space
time how to curve when space time tells mass how to move
We can represent the space time by a graph ( using one dimension for
space to simplify )
t
A

45
x
The speed of light is the angle of 45 degrees and because nothing can
travel with a speed greater than the speed of light then motion is spacetime must be in an angle of greater than 45 (A)
Lets consider an object accelerating in space-time, because its not
allowed to travel faster than the light the object t
Will continue to get faster
And faster but never reach
The speed of light
x
Now If we imagine having a rocket accelerating with two persons A+B,
after a while A is thrown outside and he continue his notion in a straight
line, the question that we have to answer is A and B see each other?

*-Light traveling in 45 from B is able to reach A so A will see B getting


progressively away
*-When A crosses the angle of 45 B will never be able to see A because
light from A cant reach B ( to do so light must travel with an angle less
than 45 and that is impossible)
A
Point C

B
light cant reach B
