general relativity - How long can a particle survive inside of the horizon of a black hole?


By examining the causal structure of a Schwarzschild black hole, one can see that a particle in region II is unable to escape to $r=\infty$. enter image description here


Such diagrams do not show, however, how long a particle can survive inside of region II without hitting the singularity. Can a particle survive indefinitely inside of the black hole? If not, is there a maximum life span of a particle inside the horizon?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
