Unfortunately "what you would like to see" isn't a necessary part of the theory.

Not on the same (gravity) point, but another way for us to be unaware of a dimension would be if we were fully extended or immersed in it. We couldn't move in that direction, because we are already there.

Fro Woody Allen: (Annie Hall) Mother(to doctor): He's been depressed. All of a sudden, he can't do anything. Doc: Why are you depressed, Alvy? Mother: Tell doctor Flicker. It's something he read. Doc: Something you read, heah? Alvy: The universe is expanding. Doc: The universe is expanding? Alvy: Well, the universe is everything, and if it's expanding, someday it will break apart and that would be the end of everything! Mother(shouting): What is that your business? (to doctor) He stopped doing his homework. Alvy: What's the point? Mother: What has the universe got to do with it? You're here in Brooklyn! Brooklyn is not expanding!

A spinning mass inside the event horizon would certainly have an event horizon that was non-spherical while collapsing. So at least temporarily that would be correct (I think?)

Using the event horizon as the definition, it could be non-spherical while absorbing mass.

One might argue the parabola and hyperbola aren't either. Is straight really that bad a lifestyle choice? Not that there's anything right with it!

This could account for some uncertainty in a classical sense.

There should be a torque and an additional non centripetal reaction force at the center as well if the clock motor is accelerating the arm or compensating for drag.

After the first 10 seconds how far will they be apart? After 15 seconds how far will they be apart?

What term would you use? Or do you not find the concept useful at all?

Just a question: (I think we have discussed this before somewhat differently) Say you had a "black box" or better yet "black sphere", in space, and you cannot look inside. Assuming it is at rest, how do you measure the mass of it? Would you consider your answer to be the mass of the sphere, or the "rest mass" of the sphere, or the sum of the "relativistic mass" components of the sphere?

I'm holding out for something even simpler. That is all.

But...we can't help it!

Good rules Bob. Just for clarification; when releasing a stone from a catapult into a mob of Bob's, would "Take THAT, Bob's!" be appropriate?

I'm sorry ABV but if I guessed what the above meant, I think I would be doing you a disservice to answer. You are probably doing an excellent attempt at translation, much better than I could do, but I cannot tell exactly what you mean. Most of it I think I understand. I will add this. If the isolated system, in summation, has no net linear momentum, the center of mass will never move, it will constantly remain in the same place.

Yes it will because the additional mass, the ring, was originally at rest with respect to the surface.

The red element has no linear momentum. Opposite the red element, at the highest point on the ring, there is an element with double the average linear momentum of the ring. Removing the red element from consideration increases the average linear momentum of the remaining elements. Which means the surface will return to initial velocity after all.

So...the momentum does get transferred to the surface and the surface (which has increased in mass) is now moving...at the same velocity it had prior to the little human on the left giving the ring the initial push. No problem.

I don't think it would change me personally. I think given the power to do everything I wanted everyone would be better off, at least after they got used to worshiping me once a week and never taking my name in vain.

Not sure what you are getting at but I hope you don't think the rolling object will come to a halt without transferring any of it's momentum to the surface.

Exactly. In the adult world you must yell "Mine" much longer and louder than anyone else, and have bigger guns.
