   Figuring out what happens to the event horizon and to objects around the event   
   horizon when a strong gravitational field distorts space time in the opposite   
   direction of a singularity is part of what prompted this problem.   
      
   If a briefly merging event horizon will necessarily leave the object at the   
   exact center inside the event horizon permanently, what happens to the   
   object?  Is there something that determines which side it prefers.  Does the   
   object get spaghettified and    
   broken into two?
