Schwarzschild Geodesics — Radial Free Fall & Coordinate Singularity

In Schwarzschild coordinates, an infalling observer takes infinite coordinate time to reach r=2M (the event horizon), but only finite proper time τ. The coordinate singularity at r=2M is removable (Eddington-Finkelstein). The geodesic equation: (dr/dτ)² = E² - (1-2M/r)(1+L²/r²).
