Am familiar with the concepts of SR you speak of regarding the event horizon of a black hole,and the premise behind Schwarschilds evaluation.To put it kindly,you miss my point Alex,'the stationary observer far away',is only conscious of
the values and implications of what is seen within the framework of our present knowledge of physics.Albert dealt science a body blow when he rejected quantum theory,saying,'God does not play dice with the universe'The half diameter comment was a flaw,and an undeserving comment by one who I had hoped to exchanged meaningful ideas with.
