Re: A partial black hole?

Granted that nothing can escape an event horizon, some other questions
do come to mind.

-- If two black holes merge, what would a hypothetical observer inside
the event horizon of one of them see?  If you're falling into
Singularity A, can your course be shaped to fall into Sing B?

-- Spinning black holes supposedly have ring-shaped singularities.  I
assume there's still no way to avoid falling into the singularity?

-- So you fall into a (very large) black hole and look inwards towards
the singularity.  What do you see?

As the matter that creates the singularity contracts, presumably it
would heat up, causing it to radiate.  As its density increased
endlessly, so would its temperature, and the frequency of the
radiation emitted.  On the other hand, its intense gravitational field
would tend to red****ft and trap EM radiation.  Which effect would
dominate?  (Or is it even possible to say?)

Also, how would the "singularity always ahead of you" effect appear to
our hypothetical free-falling observer?  Would the singularity seem to
be everywhere at once, filling the sky?  Or would it simply be
unavoidable -- no matter how you fire your rocket, you end up falling
towards it?

As you got closer to the singularity -- putting aside
spaghettification issues, at least for as long as possible -- would
its appearance change?

Okay, will stop now.  Just curious...
