Abstract

The effective shock wave singularity at the outgoing leg of the inner horizon of a linearly perturbed fast spinning black hole is studied numerically for either scalar field, or vacuum, gravitational perturbations. We demonstrate the occurrence of the Marolf-Ori singularity, including changes of order unity in the scalar field $φ$ for the scalar field model, and in the Weyl scalars $ψ_0$ and $ψ_4$ (rescaled appropriately by the horizon function $Δ$) and the Kretschmann curvature scalar $K$ for the vacuum, gravitational perturbations model for both null and timelike geodesic observers. We quantify the shock sharpening effect and show that in all cases its rate agrees with expectations.

    • Yes, TFA says nothing about what happens after surviving the fall. But from Burko and Khanna (2019) I get this: > The fate of an astronaut who falls into a black hole depends not just on the latter’s properties (such as the intrinsic parameters, i.e., the mass and spin angular…
