I remember doing some research on wormholes, and ISTR if you drop "exotic"
matter into the singularity, it will theoretically expose it (meaning logically
the escape velocity >! C). I, however, have a history degree, not an
astrophysics. Plus, I'm interested mainly as RPG fodder... :)

I really hate it when that happens.

Sufficiently large black holes have low enough tidal forces at the
horizon that you should be able to survive crossing that without too
much difficulty. You'll still be
Really though, isn't this largely academic, since you probably wouldn't survive
the tidal forces involved?
Would you be able to escape if you dropped some "exotic" matter into the
singularity?

No, you don't. From the viewpoint of a distant observer you *appear*
to fall ever more slowly towards the horizon (and your image becomes
ever dimmer and redder), but from yo
Wait a minute! As I have always understood black holes, don't you have all

So there you are: you discover that your
spaceship has inadvertently slipped across the
event horizon of a black hole the boundary
beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape
the hole's fearsome gravity. The only question is
how you can maximize the time you have left. What do you do?
