Another dumb black hole question (charge and acceleration)

by sigidunum@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mar 17, 2008 at 12:26 PM

Black holes can carry charge.

Relativity tells us that all acceleration is the same, right?  So if
we drop a proton and a neutron into a positively charged black hole,
the proton will feel less force.

This suggests that the proton would experience a different event
horizon, except that I know that's not right.

Obviously I'm missing something; if anyone can fill in the missing
piece, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,


Doug M.
