Black Hole Structure in Schwarzschild Coordinates

In the analysis of the interior region of both stationary and rotating black holes, it is customary to switch to a set of in-falling coordinates to avoid problems posed by the coordinate singularity at the event horizon. I take the view here that to understand the physics of black holes, we need to restrict ourselves to book keeper or Schwarzschild coordinates of a distant observer if we are to derive measurable properties. I show that one can derive interesting properties of black holes th at might explain some of the observational evidence available without the necessity of introducing further ad hoc conjectures
