Or can we assume that the time duration of the dissociation is so small for the falling object that the particles have no time to move or change state before its neighbors pass through and reinstate their forces on it? This might mean that inside a black hole an object is not only unable to move in +r, but it may be impossible for it to stand still without turning into a cloud of particles. Would their be a critical velocity at which it must travel in +r? Might this be the free fall velocity?
