[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] Well, the escape velocity really depends on how deep into the hole you're talking about. It is [i]c[/i] exactly at the event horizon; hence, things just outside the horizon are visible because they can escape at sublight speeds. A starship, in theory, could escape a black hole at warp speed proportional to the escape velocity at any given radius. Eventually, it would get to be so high that even the fastest warp drives won't cut it... though by that point, the radius may be so small that the ship wouldn't even fit inside to worry about it. The problem with a starship in a black hole (as [i]Voyager[/i] in "Parallax") would be that you'd need the SIF and shields on full to handle the gravity gradiant (tidal "ripping" effects) and ludicrously high radiation, not to mention have your engines running at escape equillibrium to counteract the gravity constantly pulling you down. Even ignoring the ridiculous science in "Parallax," there could have been a host of difficulties for [i]Voyager[/i] to deal with. [/QB][/QUOTE]
