Introduction

Introduction.

This work is an in depth study of the physics inside a black hole. The conventional physical interpretation has been found to be wanting and the work proceeds to show where the flaws in the conventional arguments that support the conventional view are. General Relativity emerges unscathed as a theory and even has a few blemishes removed. Along the way, a new coordinate system and metric was created that improves on the Kruskal-Szekeres metric in that time and space are unambiguously defined providing clarity in studying the physical interpretation. The animated image shows the morph from the Schwarzschild metric to the new metric. The light blue lines are null photon paths and the dark blue line singles out the supposedly continuous path of a single photon. The black hole central singularity is the thick black line on the left and event horizon is the red line.

Where errors have been found in text book equations of motion in the vicinity of a black hole, the corrected equations are shown. A new discovery about the nature of time itself was also discovered as a by product of this research.

Although many mathematical arguments and derivations are presented in this work, none should be too difficult for a good high school student, that can handle calculus, to follow. In an attempt to make the work more widely accessible, many diagrams, animations and interactive applets have been included to try and make this work easier to understand.

This work introduces many new concepts that rely on each other in a multi threaded way. Since it is impossible to introduce all the new concepts simultaneously, it is recommended that the reader skims all the sections of this work the first time around, before returning to study the more puzzling parts in more detail.

A few definitions and concepts about time, as used in this work can found here.

I hope you find this material enlightening or inspiring.
