New Theories / Re: Can the Special Relativity Theory (E=MC²) work in reverse in a black hole?

The gravitational force is increasing which means that there is now greater gravitational potential of the particles and that means that the particles can't oscillate to as large an extent as they used to be able to.Yes. I thought about it. Now you need to as well. This isn't as simple as you thought since there is an increasing gravitational field and you have to think about where the energy came from to increase that field. Understand?
Thanks PmbPhy, I'm thinking through what you said. I'm just not sure I understand what process would convert thermal energy into increased gravitational field. The only process I can think of that could accomplish this would be a process that converts this energy into increased mass. Increased mass would then cause an increased gravitational field. That brings me back to wondering if E=MC² would work in "reverse" (endothermic nuclear reaction) to convert energy into mass...
