Einstein's ideas proposed by the General Theory
of Relativity were thought to not be solvable
into mathematical equations. But that was not
true, they were incredibly complex and would
have to be contained into several different
equations. A mathematician named Schwarzchild solved one such equation,
and sent his findings to Albert Einstein.
Schwarzchild's geometry described space-time
curvature around a single non-rotating
Black Hole and for the first time gave
Einstein a solution to his ideas. This
"solution" brought about a visual phenomena
associated with Black Holes. The equation
yielded two different velocities of the same
object being pulled into a Black Hole,
depending on where the observer is relative to
the Black Hole. If an object from far from a
Black Hole is pulled into the Black Hole,
an observer near the Black Hole
(a "shell" observer) will see it's velocity
approach the speed of light as it gets closer
to it. While an observer far from the Black Hole
will see it's velocity increase at first then
slow down as it approaches until it stops at
the event horizon.

These are two identical programs for calculating velocity near a Black Hole. The one uses a graphics library only supported at Syracuse University computer clusters, and the other is a boring dos version which can be run anywhere.
