From Nature: "So there you are: you discover that your spaceship has inadvertently slipped across the event horizon of a black hole — the boundary beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the hole's fearsome gravity. The only question is how you can maximize the time you have left. What do you do?" In this article, published at Nature Online, Philip Ball comments on a paper by Geraint Lewis and Juliana Kwan to be published on the Proceedings of the Astronomical Society of Australia. The authors in the paper aim to establish what would be the longest time someone would have if caught by a black hole gravitational field. Anyway, seems impossible for todays technology but who knows what may happen by the time we have Enterprises and Commanders Kirk going where nobody has gone before...
