RE: {Altair_B - 5315} -: Astronomy Meetings - Black Holes

Hi Roy,
I always thought in the outside observers timescale you would never see anything fall into a black hole as time dilation makes the time go slower and slower. ( Not for the object falling in though). In this case I am confused as to how they form and how they can ‘merge’ . Should be an interesting talk but could get very deep though the general meeting talks are meant to be understandable by all including the attending geophysicists.
A bit of time dilation would help getting from the RAS to Ewell – it is easy by train if you don’t need to eat and don’t mind the late night bus / train home.

Black hole births in real time looks very interesting. I wonder which 'real time' she'll be picking.
That's not meant to be funny. The problem of finite element analysis and magnetohydrodynamics may be hard enough but to do it when time and space are distorting is to quote a mathematics - 'Non trivial'!
