Question

If you make an effort to escape a black hole, would your free fall velocity be slowing down?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as an "escape velocity" inside the black hole, because inside the coordinates rrand tt are interchanged. This means that the flow of time is represented by decreasing rr. So whatever rocket thrust you have, you can't even hover at r=const.r=const.
I guess....hope this is it
