The edge of locality: visualizing a black hole from the inside
Andrew J S Hamilton, Gavin Polhemus
We illustrate and discuss the view seen by an observer inside the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole. The view as the observer approaches the central singularity is of particula…
Entropy creation inside black holes points to observer complementarity
Gavin Polhemus, Andrew J. S. Hamilton, Colin S. Wallace
Heating processes inside large black holes can produce tremendous amounts of entropy. Locality requires that this entropy adds on space-like surfaces, but the resulting entropy (10…
Huge entropy production inside black holes
Colin S. Wallace, Andrew J. S. Hamilton, Gavin Polhemus
We show that the entropy created by Ohmic dissipation inside an accreting charged black hole may exceed the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy by a large factor. If the black hole subseque…
Perturbation theory of spherically symmetric self-similar black holes
A. J. S. Hamilton
The theory of perturbations of spherically symmetric self-similar black holes is presented, in the Newman-Penrose formalism. It is shown that the wave equations for gravitational,…
