Distance

It is stated this is a simulation viewed from 600km… really? Only 600 kilometres? Seems not so far for something so massive it'd suck you in in a fraction of microsecond from that distance… Perhaps I am missing something? :)

• Speaking of radial distance is indeed misleading. Schwarzschild radial coordinates are proportional to circumference, but their relationship to distance from the event horizon is nonlinear. According to another source, actually meant is a Schwarzschild radial coordinate equal to 20 event horizon radii (of a bit less than 30km each), which after integration amounts to about 640 km distance from the event horizon. I'd rather not mention radial distances at all, just Schwarzschild radial coordinates, to avoid confusion. Alter Rechner (對話) 09:21, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
