The thrusting of the engines make the mass create speed. Was typing too fast.Originally Posted by speedminded
mass creates speed?
It's the same principle on why a spacecraft could get to the edge of a black hole, and not fall in (in essence keep orbiting it) but once he crosses the threshold, there is no escaping, no matter how much thrust / boosters he fires away. He will fall in slowly, then gradually faster, until he reaches event horizon.
You'd have to accept the principle that there will be a 'border' or edge where the aircraft's thrust matches the black hole's pull. If you accept that there could be a force which equals the force of the craft, then you'd have to accept that it is possible for the craft to stay stationary..... until it runs out of fuel. If it had unlimited fuel, it would just stay stationary forever.....
