radial motion

radial motion

[′rād·ē·əl ′mō·shən]
(mechanics)
Motion in which a body moves along a line connecting it with an observer or reference point; for example, the motion of stars which move toward or away from the earth without a change in apparent position.

In studying the radial motion through the event horizon (a black hole's boundary) of two different types of black holes--Schwarzschild and Einstein-Rosen, both of which are mathematically legitimate solutions of general relativity--Poplawski admits that only experimentation or observation can reveal the motion of a particle falling into an actual black hole, but he also notes that, since observers only can see the outside of the black hole, the interior cannot be viewed unless someone (or something) enters or resides within.
