Spaghettification inside a spherically symmetric black hole

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the vectors for time and radius that characterize the space-like 4-acceleration of an observer falling into a spherically symmetric black hole. The previously established equations for time and radius derivatives are dt/dτ = (1-2m/r)⁻¹ and dr/dτ = -(2m/r)¹/2. The user seeks guidance on whether these equations can be differentiated again with respect to real time τ to obtain the necessary vectors for 4-acceleration. The inquiry highlights a challenge in advancing the calculations needed for further analysis. The thread emphasizes the complexities involved in understanding the dynamics of black hole physics.

I need to find the vectors for time and radius that describe a space-like 4-acceleration of an observer falling radially into a spherically-symmetric black hole. Previous to this question, the values of the real time derivatives for time and radius were derived to be:
dt/dτ = (1-2m/r)-1

and

dr/dτ = -(2m/r)1/2

In order to form the vectors needed for 4 acceleration, is it possible to differentiate these equations with respect to τ(real time) again? I am stumped!

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
