Generalized observers and velocity measurements in General Relativity
To resolve some unphysical interpretations related to velocity measurements
by static observers, we discuss the use of generalized observer sets, give a
prescription for defining the speed of test particles relative to those
observers and show that, for any locally inertial frame, the speed of a freely
falling material particle is always less than the speed of light at the
Schwarzschild black hole surface.Comment: 20 pages, 1 figure, submitted to General Relativity and Gravitatio
